Of the ten included studies, the majority (n\u2009=\u20097, 70%) were from high-income countries. Evidence-based frameworks for persons with disabilities exist mainly in high-income countries and are referred to by various names, including programmes, training, models, and vocational rehabilitation. These are associated with internal and external barriers and facilitators. Moreover, a list of microenterprises for consideration by the key role players involved is available. These evidence-based frameworks\u2019 individualised processes start with a referral and end with a follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although the included studies did not use standardised terminologies for evidence-based frameworks, the findings suggest that self-employment for persons with disabilities is intersectoral and includes various key role players. Collaboration, positive attitudes, and the willingness of key role players involved foster the sustainability and continuity of these evidence-based frameworks. A central key role player is a skilled mediator who is aware of other key role players and their roles.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10519815261450166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,22]],"date-time":"2026-06-22T18:05:46Z","timestamp":1782151546000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Successful evidence-based frameworks for promoting self-employment with persons with disabilities: A scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Luther Lebogang","family":"Monareng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Occupational Therapy Department, University of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa, Durban, 4000, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaheed Mogammad","family":"Soeker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Occupational Therapy Department, University of the Western Cape in South Africa, Durban, 4000, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deshini","family":"Naidoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Occupational Therapy Department, University of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa, Durban, 4000, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"United Nations.
