  abstract = {{T}he transition to adulthood is a critical stage in human development because it shapes the future lives of many young people. {L}ittle is known about how disability affects this transition. {M}ost of the available evidence comes from high-resource settings, where the situation differs greatly from that of resource-limited countries. {U}sing the data from the {H}andi{VIH} {ANRS} 12302 study, we aimed to examine the effect of disability on the social markers of the transition to adulthood in an {A}frican context with regard to gender and the nature and severity of the limitations. {O}ur results show that men and women with disabilities experience significant delays in completing the different transitions to adulthood and, consequently, live in more precarious situations at the beginning of adulthood. {W}e also found complex variations in the effects of disability with regard to disability characteristics and gender. {T}hese results call for gender- and disability-sensitive transitional programmes to achieve the goal of equal opportunity as envisioned in the sustainable development goals.},
