The WRF staff works closely with local and international partners to develop culturally appropriate initiatives that address all aspects of rehabilitation, from incident through reintegration by:
- Strengthening the capacity of indigenous organizations to better meet the needs of people in states of disadvantage due to various forms of disabilities.
- Developing community-based programs for physical, psychological, and socio-economic rehabilitation and reintegration.
- Upgrading skills of rehabilitation service providers such as physicians, therapists, health promoters, nurses, social workers, and vocational rehabilitation specialists.
- Collaborating with industry and local professionals to enhance vocational training, skills-building, and job placement programs to create sustainable employment and income-generating entrepreneurial opportunities.
- Training rehabilitation professionals throughout the world in the fabrication and fitting of artificial limbs, orthopedic braces, and other assistive technology appropriate for the geographic area they serve.
- Ensuring that people with disabilities are part of the team from start to finish.
