Abstrakt:	The occupational therapy profession has made considerable advances towards becoming an evidence-based profession. Yet, much of the efforts to develop evidence-based occupational therapy (EBOT) have occurred in upper-income countries and there is a noticeable lack of publications from resource-constrained countries. Possible reasons for this will be explored using South Africa (SA) as an example. The activities that have been undertaken to promote EBOT in SA are described and the barriers and facilitators to its uptake in this context are discussed. The article will conclude by outlining strategies to realise the vision of occupational therapy as a global evidence-based profession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
