The preparation of the Review of the implementation of Uganda's National Broadband Policy 2018 and proposed interventions report has entailed carrying out a situation analysis of the broadband ecosystem in Uganda. The analysis has covered ICT contributions to gross domestic product (GDP); mobile network coverage; Internet pricing; traffic and usage patterns, both locally and globally; and assessing how Uganda is ranked among globally tracked ICT indices such as the E-Government Development Index (EGDI), the E?Participation Index, the Network Readiness Index, the GovTech Maturity Index and the Local Online Index. This was supplemented with the collection of information from stakeholders that had a stake in implementation of the 2018 National Broadband Policy. The gathered information is captured in a matrix that indicates each objective and attendant strategies, the activities undertaken to implement the strategy, as well as the outcomes of those actions, reported level of implementation by the stakeholders, challenges met in the process, and proposed mitigation measures to address them. The report shares a detailed analysis of the implementation status of the 2018 National Broadband Policy.
Overall, Uganda's digital transformation is on an upward trajectory, driven by the foundational work laid under the 2018 National Broadband Policy.
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).
