When Rights First started publication in July, 2007, the dream was to evolve into an interactive platform that could manage the knowledge needs of the ActionAid community. Today, as you read the first anniversary edition, we take another step closer to its fulfillment. Last month, we received one of the few suggestions on themes. It came from a person who was identified only as Parthipan, and in three words, he communicated to us, what he wanted seen on these electronic pages. We urge our readers to take a leaf out of Parthipan's book and suggest even more themes that we may cover to meet your knowledge needs. Community based rehabilitation (CBR) is not a new idea. In fact, its roots may be traced to the 1978 Alma-Ata Health For All declaration. Through the 1980s, when a purely medical impairment perspective on disability was increasingly seen as inadequate, mental health activism recognized that a large number of disabled persons, especially in the developing world, have no access to institutional rehabilitation services that are usually based in big cities with a limited service capacity. CBR is implemented through the combined efforts of disabled people themselves, their families and communities, and the appropriate health, education, vocational and social services. This edition, we examine the relevance of CBR in the context of the need for the expansion of rehabilitation services to meet the needs of all those who are entitled to rehabilitation. In August and September 2007, we had focused two editions on disability. Now would also be a great time to revisit them.
