“…In essence, we are Indonesians, it is important for children to know how to communicate using Indonesian as the national language. This research is in line with research that has been conducted with the title Growing Good and Correct Indonesian in Education and Teaching (Pierucci et al, 2023). This research has similarities with the research which revealed that it is important to teach children Indonesian as the national language.…”

“…(Reichow et al 2023). Although the study from Pierucci et al (2023) had a small sample size, results were positive, and the Government and service providers should consider implementing caregiver-training interventions in Zambia, ideally conducting largescale evaluations. Further, Hearst et al (2022) and Hepperlen et al (2021) found the stigmareduction intervention Kusamala + to be feasible, to be acceptable, and to have a positive impact on rejection of children with disabilities (Hearst et al 2022;Hepperlen et al 2021a).…”

“…They also suggested organised groups of caregivers, to reduce social isolation and teach them about disability. Pierucci et al (2023) investigated one such caregiver-training intervention, Project ImPACT, finding it to be feasible, acceptable and to have a positive impact on child development (Pierucci et al 2023). However, the sample size was small and there is need for larger-scale evaluations of parent interventions.…”

Background: Globally, people with disabilities experience exclusion from health, education, employment, and other aspects of daily life. Evidence on lived experience across key life areas (such as education, health, and employment) is necessary to promote disability-inclusive policy and practice, but there is often limited evidence from sub-Saharan Africa and there is no current synthesis in Zambia. Objectives: This scoping review aimed to synthesise evidence relevant to the lived experience of people with disabilities in Zambia across key life areas, in order to support national disability policy and practice. Method: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Global Health, Africa-Wide Information and grey literature sources were searched from database inception until June 2023, although after the database search, we included only articles published from 2007, after adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Articles of any study design that were relevant to disability in Zambia were included, although prevalence studies were excluded to keep the focus on lived experience. Search results were independently screened by two reviewers, first by title/abstract, then by full text. Study characteristics and key findings were extracted, with findings narratively synthesised across key topic areas, such as health, education, and family support. Results: From 10,327 search results, 122 articles were included. Over a third of included articles focused on education for children with disabilities (n = 41, 34%) and the majority were conducted in Lusaka Province (n = 73, 60%). The included research demonstrated a number of challenges experienced by people with disabilities in Zambia that impinge on their human rights, including inaccessible environments, stigma and discrimination, and limited support. Evidence is relatively limited in some key areas, including healthcare and employment, and there is need for up-to-date research. Conclusions: People with disabilities in Zambia experience daily challenges. There is need for action to improve disability inclusion in Zambia in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
