Three ways to contribute
Take part in the work
There are different ways to be part of DPRP, depending on where you’re coming from. Choose the path that fits you.
01 Local organisations
Bring DPRP to your community
For local organisations that want to adapt DPRP to their own community or country.
If you lead or work with a local organisation that wants to strengthen disability prevention and rehabilitation, DPRP offers an established model to build on. You adapt its principles to your own government and community systems: local ownership, shared costs and a clear plan for support to continue after outside funding ends.
What we could explore together
- An initial conversation about your context and the systems and services already in place.
- Access to DPRP approach documentation and lessons from other countries.
- Coaching and strategic support as you assess your local context and your organisation’s role and capacity.

02 Funders and supporters
Fund support that can continue
For funders interested in a programme with a defined end to outside funding and a plan for government and community to carry the work forward.
DPRP is designed around temporary external funding: a maximum of about five years per context. During that time, public systems and community ownership are strengthened so the work can continue. The model has been evaluated as highly cost-effective in its pilot phase and has expanded through government systems. We welcome funders interested in supporting this approach to disability prevention, rehabilitation and everyday support.
What we could explore together
- Partner-level impact data and reporting.
- Introductions to specific country programmes seeking funding.
- How costs are shared and exactly what your contribution would fund.
03 Researchers
Study the work and share what it teaches us
For researchers and academics interested in studying the DPRP model and strengthening its evidence base.
DPRP brings together experience across several country contexts in community-based rehabilitation, disability prevention and changes to public services led by local people. We welcome researchers interested in evaluating outcomes, documenting how the model is adapted in different settings and contributing evidence that can improve support for people with disabilities.
What we could explore together
- Access to available programme data and documentation.
- Connections with partner organisations for fieldwork or interviews.
- Collaboration on research and shared learning materials that the organisations doing the work can also use.
