Rehabilitation services for people with
communication disabilities (PWCD) in many
majority-world countries are extremely
limited, with speech-language pathology little
known. Collaborations between clinicians
and services in majority- and minority-world
countries provide important contributions to
developing rehabilitation services in the
majority world for PWCD. The effectiveness
of such partnerships may be influenced by a
number of elements within the relationship.
This paper presents insights from a group of
majority-world speech-language pathologists
(SLPs) in Ghana on establishing and
maintaining links between majority- and
minority-world services and clinicians. The
framework of three sustainability dimensions
(service environment, socio-cultural-political
environment, and economic environment) is
used to consider how SLP relationships across
majority–minority worlds can be meaningful
and lasting. Readers are encouraged to adopt
the perspective of SLPs from within the country
to consider the impact and sustainability of
majority–minority world partnerships
