Area of Science:

  • Disability Studies
  • Public Health
  • African Research Landscape

Background:

  • The African Network for Evidence-to-Action in Disability (AfriNEAD) is pivotal in advancing disability inclusion policies and practices across Africa.
  • This study examines trends in disability research within AfriNEAD-affiliated nations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore and analyze the trends of disability research published by contributors to AfriNEAD Conferences.
  • To establish a baseline understanding of published disability research in AfriNEAD-affiliated countries.

Main Methods:

  • A Google Scholar search utilized names of researchers from the first six AfriNEAD Conferences.
  • Peer-reviewed publications were cataloged based on AfriNEAD's eight research focus areas.
  • A manual search of the African Journal of Disability was conducted for articles from AfriNEAD-affiliated countries.

Main Results:

  • A significant exponential growth in peer-reviewed disability research publications from AfriNEAD-affiliated countries over the past two decades.
  • Predominance of intra-African research collaborations within individual countries.
  • Frequent international collaborations between African researchers and those from the Global North.

Conclusions:

  • African researchers are encouraged to strengthen cross-continental networking and collaboration to bolster disability research.
  • Emphasis is needed on research in under-represented areas and in countries with limited research output.
  • Further research is essential to comprehend these trends and inform evidence-based interventions for disability inclusion.
