What if CBR workers had expert rehabilitation guidance in their pocket?

March 9, 2026 | Publications

Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) workers are the backbone of disability inclusion in low- and middle-income countries — yet too often they are expected to deliver complex rehabilitation services without specialist support, reliable connectivity, or practical tools.

Developed by Enablement Foundation, the Rehabilitation Application (RehApp) closes this gap by putting evidence-based rehabilitation guidance directly into the hands of fieldworkers — anytime, anywhere.

Why RehApp creates real value for organisations that work on disability-inclusion and CBR:

– Evidence-based decision support that improves quality and consistency of care;
– Built for low-resource settings — works fully offline, anywhere in the world;
– Tailored to NGOs, community-based organisations and even clinics.
– Data ownership & security through local server hosting;
– Scalable training model, from online learning to face-to-face delivery;
– MIS insights that help organisations track outcomes and demonstrate impact;
– Multilingual & culturally adaptable, supporting diverse contexts.

An 11-month outcome study in Cambodia, conducted with Centre for Child and Adolescent Mental Health and funded by Caritas in Germany and BMZ, shows how RehApp strengthens fieldworker knowledge, confidence, and day-to-day rehabilitation practice.
