PWDS have been found to be one of the poorest in the country due to lack of access to opportunities such as employment, education, housing and health (http://www.ilo.org/.../wcms_115099.pdf). The government has presented laws to support the rights of PWDS in Uganda however the adoption of these policies has been slow (http://ugandaradionetwork.com/a/story.php?s=55864).
