As Uganda advances its efforts focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Uganda Vision 2040, harnessing the power of mobile technology will be critical to influencing progress across all development goals. This report highlights five broad areas where the use of mobile phone will have a notable impact in Uganda: productivity and efficiency, service delivery, good governance and social justice, climate change and the environment, digital entrepreneurship and emerging technologies.
Impact / Outcome
The use of mobile-enabled solutions across a variety of sectors is having a significant impact on socioeconomic development in Uganda. However, the research undertaken for this report identified a number of lessons, for example, many of the solutions have been developed and implemented by third-party organisations and intervention partners, resulting in a high level of fragmentation, and a lack of coordination and control of services by the relevant ministry.
