To determine the level of PPFP uptake among AGYW aged 10-24 years in Uganda between 2015 and 2025, by conducting a meta-analysis of the available evidence ii. To assess the existence of inequities in the level of PPFP uptake among AGYW 10-24 years in Uganda, using the available evidence. iii. To synthesize the existing evidence on the factors related to PPFP uptake among AGYW aged 10-24 years in Uganda Specific Objective II (Sub-study II) To explore the PPFP literacy needs, preferences, concerns and experiences of AGYW in the Busoga sub-region i. To explore the PPFP literacy needs of AGYW in the Busoga sub-region. ii. To find out preferences and concerns about PPFP literacy among AGYW in the Busoga sub-region. iii. To examine PPFP literacy experiences of AGYW in the Busoga sub-region. Specific Objective III (Sub-study III) To evaluate the effectiveness of the PPFP on FP uptake by AGYW (10-24 years) in the Busoga sub-region. i. To explore perspectives of policymakers, programmers, implementers and AGYW on fidelity, acceptability, adoption, penetration, relevance and equity of the PPFP among AGYW (10-24 years) in the Busoga sub-region. ii.
