Abstract
The use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to improve how
goods are produced and services are delivered is a feature of everyday life in developed
countries. If ICT is used appropriately, it has the potential to vastly improve
productivity. Thus the issue for developing and least developed countries is how best
to use ICT to achieve development objectives, given the operating constraints in these
countries. The constraints are mainly lack of infrastructure and human capacity. It
is now a known fact that ICT infrastructure readiness without adequate skilled ICT
human capacity cannot lead to economic growth. In this paper we discuss the role of
Makerere University and suggest opportunities for Makerere University in this area
of ICT led –economic growth of Uganda.
