Abstract
In line with global commitments to improve digital
inclusion and to realise the Sustainable Development
Goals for 2030, the Government of Uganda has committed
the country to developing a digital vision for
Uganda. It aims to build a digitally-enabled society that
is “… secure, sustainable, innovative, transformative …
to create a positive social and economic impact through
technology-based empowerment”.
The Digital Uganda Vision provides an overarching
framework that responds to the national Vision 2040 by
providing a unified ICT policy direction. It further provides
the Government’s integrated policy and strategic
framework to show how information and communication
technologies (ICT) can empower Ugandan citizens
and achieve the goals of universal inclusion, sustainable
development, economic progress and poverty eradication
through digital innovation.
