YARID is a globally recognized refugee-led center for research and advocacy, that works proactively to change attitudes toward meaningful refugee participation and representation, by leading the way forward by integrating evidence-based research into lasting community-led solutions. 

​​​​​​

Each year, YARID welcomes researchers and students from around the world to collaborate on studies focused on various thematic areas within the refugee context in Uganda, including self-reliance, youth, economy, employment, business creation, vocational skills, social cohesion, HIV/AIDS, among other themes. We collaborate with students at Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD level, and we partner with research centers that aligns with YARID’s ethical research policy, and includes refugees as active participants in the research cycle.

​​

By collaborating with YARID through research, we provide:

• Revised research plans, to ensure that researchers follow ethical guidelines to carry

out data collection in refugee communities, and with refugee-led actors.

• Support in acquiring a research permit from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM)

• A research team of interpreters, and field mobilizers to meet the study scope of​ participants for interview and/or Focus Group Discussions (FGD).

• Support from YARID’s Research and Advocacy Department: before, during, and after the data collection period has ended.

• Opportunities for research dissemination.

 

We further provide:

• Data/credit for field mobilizers to contact study participants.

• Time for mobilizers and staff to work on the research.

• Refreshments.

• Travel reimbursements for study participants.

• Translators (when needed).

• Research Permit from the OPM.
