Le Burkina Faso a été le premier pays d’intervention de HI en Afrique de l'Ouest. L’association y est enregistrée depuis 1991. Cette année-là, en partenariat avec le Ministère de la Santé, l’association œuvra pour la réhabilitation du Centre National d'Appareillage Orthopédique du Bu...rkina (CNAOB). Elle a par la suite soutenu le développement et la mise en place d'autres centres de réadaptation et d’appareillage à travers le pays. Le spectre des interventions de HI s’est ensuite diversifié au fil des années au Burkina Faso.
Aujourd'hui, HI facilite la mise en place d'un réseau régional de réadaptation fonctionnelle et l'intégration de ce réseau dans le système national de santé. HI forme des professionnels de la santé et de la réadaptation fonctionnelle. Grâce à son projet éducatif, l’association facilite l'accès et le maintien d’enfants handicapés à l’école primaire. Afin d'assurer la pérennité de ce projet, l'organisation forme et sensibilise les personnes qui travaillent dans les secteurs du handicap et de l'éducation inclusive.

A national overview with a case study from Tanahun district.

As most social protection programmes in Nepal are targeted to various groups considered to be a high risk of poverty or marginalisation (e.g. orphans, widows), the research mainly focuses on disability-specific schemes, as they are relevant to a higher proportion of people with disabilities.
