Research that puts persons with disabilities at the centre

The gateway to the ultimate realisation of sustainable disability inclusion in society is quality, consistent disability research. For a long time, Kenya's disability sector has lacked the benefit of research conducted professionally and with the full, active participation of persons with disabilities as equal beneficiaries of its outcomes. This is the gap URI exists to bridge.
