  Are membership organizations
  Register as a legal entity
  General body meetings are conducted every 1 or 3 yrs
  By working with SHGs- meet the needs of disabled at local & wider level, & in short & long term.
 Initially- identify & understand the current situation & map services; then to identify what gaps exist & what is required

c)       Act as directors of community initiatives
d)      a positive role model

CBR Resource Centre
  •  Ex.- a school or a building provided by religious organizations or a separate house built for the purpose in slum areas
  • Organize activities
  •  Acts as an address for the community to receive communications & identity for the activities.
Evaluation
  Means the activities which are done to see how a program is progressing
  Monitoring & self assessment- two aspects
  Benefits :

Finding new knowledge about CBR
  Too busy in implementing it- evaluation takes time
  Skills to evaluate?
  Means change in the routine to improve
  Link it with discont. of the program
  Promote the idea of evaluation in program before starting.
