INTRODUCTION:
• NGOs, (non governmental organizations), are defined as
“voluntary social welfare agency” which means an
organization, association or undertaking established by a group
of persons for rendering welfare services.
• Capacity building;
• The CBR philosophy focuses on the fact, that most people in the
community do not understand disability and do not accept disabled
people as equals.
• Financial constraints
• Lack of variance
• Unhealthy competitions
HOW CAN NGOS’ PARTICIPATION IN CBR BE ENHANCED?
• While the private sector may have better skills in bidding for
government jobs, the NGOs have a wider experience in working
with communities.

• NGOs need to ponder and ask themselves some of the critical
questions to enable them understand participation:
1. How is participation taking place?
2. Who is participating?
• As voluntary agencies deal with the people directly so they can be well
aware of the needs of the people and can make suitable programs to
solve them by utilizing the local resources.
• Voluntary agencies can create social consciousness and spirit of self help
among human beings and motivate them to take role in welfare activities.
CONCLUSION:
• NGOs have played a very significant role in pioneering CBR programs.
• This has been done through the combined efforts of the key players by
coordination, collaboration and increased information dissemination.
