This collaboratively conceived project will establish the Disability and Inclusion in Africa network. Working across disciplines, the project will engage Arts and Humanities research to enhance disability inclusion in international development.Discourses of disability are often created by medical professionals, social scientists or development agencies, and most often in the global north, quite removed from the realities experienced on the ground. This project focuses on the central theme of 'alternative explanations' for disability in African contexts to invite discussion of a range of beliefs and attitudes towards disability, which may include assumptions and misconceptions, traditional beliefs, religious beliefs, medical determinism, supernatural or witchcraft-related beliefs. By increasing awareness of the impact of these alternative explanations, the network will contribute to understandings of the ways in which approaches to inclusion in international development programmes and strategies can be enhanced.Building on new and existing partnerships, the Disability and Inclusion in Africa network will forge international dialogue between researchers and stakeholders at a series of events and exhibitions in Nigeria, Cameroon, Tanzania, South Africa and the UK. The project not only responds to gaps in scholarship, but the culturally-informed research that will emerge from the project aims to bring about a step-change in the way in which disability studies is approached within and beyond Africa, and in the way in which disability is understood by stakeholders in communities, civil society and international development.

这个合作的项目将建立非洲网络中的残疾和包容性。该项目跨学科工作，将吸引艺术和人文研究，以加强残疾纳入国际发展。残疾人通常是由医学专业人员，社会科学家或发展机构创造的，并且通常在全球北部创造，这完全脱离了现实中所经历的现实。该项目着重于非洲背景下残疾的“替代解释”的中心主题，邀请人们讨论对残疾的一系列信念和态度，其中可能包括假设和误解，传统信仰，宗教信仰，医疗决定主义，超自然或与巫术相关的信仰。 By increasing awareness of the impact of these alternative explanations, the network will contribute to understandings of the ways in which approaches to inclusion in international development programmes and strategies can be enhanced.Building on new and existing partnerships, the Disability and Inclusion in Africa network will forge international dialogue between researchers and stakeholders at a series of events and exhibitions in Nigeria, Cameroon, Tanzania, South Africa and the UK.该项目不仅可以回应奖学金的差距，而且该项目将从该项目中出现的文化知识研究旨在使在非洲内部和非洲以外的残疾研究以及社区，公民社会和国际发展中的利益相关者理解残疾人理解的残疾人研究的方式上进行逐步变化。
