Uganda’s Minister of State
for Information, Hon. Joyce Nabosa Ssebugwawo, has called on stakeholders in
the information and communications technology sector to strengthen
collaboration and place citizens at the centre of the country’s digital
transformation efforts.
The minister made the call
during the 2026 ICT Sector Annual Performance Review Retreat, where
stakeholders gathered to assess progress made during the year, reflect on
challenges and identify priorities for improving the sector.
Hon. Ssebugwawo urged
participants to use the retreat as an opportunity for open and constructive
discussions focused on identifying practical solutions to challenges affecting
the ICT sector.
She stressed the importance
of putting Ugandans at the centre of policy decisions and ensuring that digital
transformation initiatives translate into improved public services and tangible
benefits for citizens.
The minister also called for
closer cooperation among institutions within the ICT sector, noting that
stronger coordination would be essential to advancing Uganda’s digital
transformation agenda.
The annual performance
review provides a platform for stakeholders to assess sector performance, draw
lessons from implementation and establish a stronger direction for the year
ahead.
