The 3rd CBR/CBID World Congress in Uganda is a groundbreaking event, emerging at a pivotal time in the history of the global CBR/CBID movement. The time has come for a major global focus point for all stakeholders in CBR/CBID and Inclusive Development to share their voice, demonstrate best practices, document innovations, forge new directions including using digital technology and social media in social action, construct strategic alliances, and formulate innovative disability services. This Congress is the subsequent step to make the aspirations and commitments of global statements on CBR/CBID a reality. It is continuing to build on the progress made earlier in the CBR/CBID congresses focusing on shaping the future of disability services and inclusive development actions globally for individuals with different disabilities.

The main objectives of the 3rd CBR/CBID World Congress 2020 are:

• To showcase good practices and lessons learned in CBR/CBID and inclusive development (CBID) activities around the world
• To envision the future role, relevance and terminology of CBR/CBID, inclusive development, and community based disability services globally
• To identify strategies for action across CBR/CBID at all levels from the individual to the social, including strategies to build capacity and human resources.

The Congress has been specifically tailored to achieve the key objectives and ensure that the event yields maximum benefit. The detailed schedule is still being prepared.
