The Assessment of last-mile connectivity interventions in Uganda report provides a comprehensive evaluation of the current state of connectivity projects, examines their ecosystems and proposes sustainable strategies for improvement. Ensuring inclusive connectivity is vital for bridging the digital divide and fostering equitable access to digital resources, which is crucial for Uganda's socio-economic development. The analysis identified key stakeholders and implementers involved in last-mile connectivity, examining the diverse models and approaches used in these projects. As such, the study assessed the usage, challenges, successes, sustainability and gaps within these projects, providing a detailed understanding of Uganda's connectivity landscape.
The study highlights the need for innovative solutions to bridge this digital divide, including leveraging alternative technologies such as satellite Internet and TV white space (TVWS) to overcome geographical barriers and extend services to hard-to-reach areas. The recommendations in the report can serve as a road map for strategic interventions aimed at bridging connectivity gaps, fostering innovation and empowering communities across the country.
The report was developed by the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), with the support of Divisions and Services in ITU Headquarters and ITU Regional Office for Africa under the 'Technical Assistance and Training to Uganda on National ICT Development Strategy' (2021-2024) project. The project is a collaboration between the Government of Uganda and ITU, supported by the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund (GDSSCF) and ITU's ICT Development Fund (ICT-DF).
