CAN organises CBR conferences in Africa to facilitate the development of strong local and international partnership between stakeholders as a platform for information networking. These conferences bring people together from various nations to share experiences and, in the process, create a basis for further talks, meetings and productive interaction for mutual benefit.

The conference which acted as the founding event for CAN ‘CBR as a participatory strategy in Africa’ was held in Uganda in 2001. The following conference ‘CBR as part of community development’ was held in Malawi in 2004. The most recent conference was held in 2007 in South Africa and focused on ‘CBR: Inclusive Policy Development and Implementation’ These conferences provide the opportunity for individuals to not only interface with notable agencies and prominent practitioners but also have access to materials and even enable them to make huge recommendations that influence governments.

Presentations and discussions from these conferences have been compiled into three CBR books of the same name which has been and continues to be disseminated to different stakeholders across Africa and beyond. They are available for download (Click here for download) and are on sale at TALC –Teaching Aids at Low Cost, www.talcuk.org
