The results suggest that Kalèdo could be an effective instrument to teach children about healthy diet. More research is needed to study the long term effect of this intervention.

The CBR programme analysed has a positive impact on access to services and the well-being of PwD who are particularly deprived on outcomes of interest.

CBR programmes have a multidimensional and positive impact on individual and collective capabilities; on individual, agency and social empowerment. Implications for Rehabilitation Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) can make a lasting difference in the life of persons with disabilities. CBR improves participation and inclusion of persons with disabilities in the family and in the community.

Buruli ulcer, a disease with long-term consequences, is emerging in west Africa. Thus, a functional limitation scoring system is needed to assess its nature and severity. A list of daily activities was developed for this disease. Following treatment of Buruli ulcer, persons in Benin (n = 47) and Ghana (n = 41) were investigated. Nineteen items were identified with good internal consistency. Participants (median age = 14 years) could not perform 23% of their daily activities. Twenty-nine participants did not have any functional limitation. The average limitation score was 31% in Benin and 15% in Ghana (P = 0.006). The mean limitation score in participants without visible contractures (n = 65) was 13%, whereas patients with visible contractures (n = 20) or an amputation (n = 3) had a score of more than 50%. Validity and reliability should be further analyzed to optimize the scale for use in individual evaluation, as an end point in intervention trials, and in planning of resources needed for the care of patients with functional limitations.

Over the last few decades, there has been a growth in community-based rehabilitation (CBR)
