The study will be conducted in eight districts within South Western Uganda. This area was selected because it has high concentration of LVI enrolled 'in UPE schools.

It will use a mixed method research which involves both qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods. Purposive and systematic sampling procedures will be applied. Purposeful sampling procedure will be applied in selecting the region, districts, schools, LVI enrolled in UPE schools, teachers, head teachers and inspectors of schools. Systematic sampling procedure will be applied to select LVI enrolled in special boarding schools. Data will be collected through interviews, questionnaire, observation and Focus Group Discussion FGD. To ascertain validity and reliability of the instruments, piloting will be conducted in a district which is not included in the study. Data collected using interview, questionnaire, observation and FGD will be coded, quantified, categorized and analyzed following the themes derived from research objectives.
