    Description
    The Workers Compensation Fund (WCF) of Tanzania asked SOCIEUX+ to help looking into its own rehabilitation strategy, in the perspective of addressing gaps and plan improvements thanks to inspirational exchanges with EU peer experts. Experts from Germany (the German Association of Accident Insurance – DGUV) and Lithuania first overviewed the existing WCF’s rehabilitation strategies, then provided technical advice for its improvement; they particularly stressed the importance to conceive rehabilitation work in relation to the three distinct dimensions physical, social, and vocational rehabilitation, all important for allowing injured works to go back to active professional life.
