This report details a study on the impact of health-related rehabilitation as a contributor to social inclusion for people with disabilities in Togo. It uses the 'disability creation process', a model which represents disability as a dynamic and complex process whereby an individual’s impairments alone do not define his/her disability, as a conceptual basis in the West African context. Through analysing the rehabilitation services provided with regard to their effects on the beneficiaries, the study highlights social obstacles and facilitators faced by people with disabilities. This resource would be useful for organisations and practitioners interested in the impact of health-related rehabilitation as a contributor to social inclusion for people with disabilities in Togo
