Uganda’s Ministry of ICT and
National Guidance has engaged the Board and Management of Posta Uganda Limited
on the corporation’s strategic role in strengthening postal, courier, financial
and digital services across the country.
The engagement, led by
Minister of ICT and National Guidance Rt. Hon. Justine Kasule Lumumba, focused
on Posta Uganda’s ongoing transformation efforts, opportunities to improve
service delivery and its contribution to the government’s broader digital transformation
agenda.
The Minister was accompanied
by Minister of State for Information, Communication and Technology Hon. Joyce
Nabosa Ssebugwawo and Acting Permanent Secretary Sophia Nantongo during the
discussions with the corporation’s leadership.
The meeting explored ways
Posta Uganda can enhance its services to better serve citizens while expanding
access to digital solutions and promoting greater inclusion, particularly in
communities that require improved connectivity and service access.
Posta Uganda continues to
play a role in Uganda’s public service ecosystem through its nationwide
network, providing postal, logistics, financial and emerging digital services.
The Ministry said
strengthening the corporation’s capabilities aligns with government efforts to
leverage technology to improve access to services, support economic
participation and accelerate digital transformation across Uganda.
