Young people with disabilities are rarely included in research, even less so in African countries, yet their engagement in leading and shaping research is key to ensuring participation and inclusion for all. The DIY project aims to improve participation and inclusion of youth with disabilities in research to change negative attitudes and behaviour towards youth with disabilities in Uganda. The objectives of the DIY project are to develop and implement youth led African childhood disability research, create opportunities for disabled youth employment in research, and encourage and facilitate youth led knowledge sharing and awareness raising. The project will train 12 young people with disabilities in research skills, support internships for trained youth, conduct co-creative research with another 30 youth, and facilitate youth led knowledge exchange and transfer of research findings in Central Uganda. This project will foster and expand existing partnerships between academic institutions and organizations of persons with disabilities from Uganda, Zimbabwe, and the United Kingdom, and will contribute to the creation of a decolonized, equitable, diverse, and inclusive research community. All investigators and project partners live and work in Uganda or Zimbabwe, have a disability or are caregivers of persons with disabilities.

残疾青年很少被纳入研究，在非洲国家更是如此，但他们参与领导和塑造研究是确保所有人参与和包容的关键。自助项目旨在促进残疾青年参与和融入研究，以改变乌干达对残疾青年的消极态度和行为。DIY项目的目标是发展和实施青年主导的非洲儿童残疾研究，为残疾青年在研究中就业创造机会，并鼓励和促进青年主导的知识共享和提高认识活动。该项目将对12名残疾青年进行研究技能培训，支持受过培训的青年进行实习，与另外30名青年进行共同创造性研究，并促进青年主导的知识交流和乌干达中部研究成果的转让。该项目将促进和扩大乌干达、津巴布韦和联合王国的学术机构和残疾人组织之间的现有伙伴关系，并将有助于建立一个非殖民化、公平、多样化和包容性的研究界。所有调查人员和项目伙伴都在乌干达或津巴布韦生活和工作，都有残疾或照顾残疾人。
