Their recollections of vocational rehabilitation indicate that their reactions and choices throughout this period were dissimilar, despite their close proximity. This article discusses the role of rehabilitation counselors, how they work with demanding clients, and how funding decisions are made. The results of the joint interview appear to substantiate the importance of variables such as personality, over which the rehabilitation agency has no control, and suggest that the rehabilitation process is an individual experience.

Metadata only record ; Site-based projects were initiated in Chawka Bay-Paje, Zanzibar, and Nyali-Bamburi-Shanzu, Kenya, to demonstrate the benefits of an integrated coastal management (ICM) approach for addressing coastal issues such as tourism development and enhancement of resource-dependent village economies in eastern Africa. A two-year, multidonor project used three primary strategies to make rapid, but sustainable, progress toward ICM. These included using interagency government teams for ICM planning, adopting an internationally recognized framework for ICM as a project "road map," and explicitly incorporating capacity-building strategies into all aspects of the project. Within two years, integrated ICM action strategies, prepared through participatory processes, were being implemented at both sites, and both teams were working to expand the scale and scope of ICM in their nation. More importantly, the project helped create committed, capable, interagency groups that continue to work together to address urgent ICM issues.
