Generally the problems that we have envisaged and needs further attention include:

  => No continuous assistance is provided till the rehabilitate maintains       their functional ability.

  => Many of the ventures were not based on a strong link between the       need, ability and  physical situation of the rehabilitate

  => There is an information gap about the existing rehabilitation       services in our region and  also poor advocacy and awareness       creation activities.

  => Many of the projects were under funded (lack of capital), and       management problems  (capacity limitation especially in the group       business)

  => Lacks co-ordination and integration with the other community       development activities.

  => The governments role is very limited almost in all moves of PWD's       rehabilitation and no  much concern has been paid by NGO's and       the community.
