 | The Assessment of the big data landscape in Uganda report presents the results of a review Uganda's big data landscape that was undertaken 2024. In September 2023, the Government of Uganda launched the Big Data Utilization Strategy 2023-2027 to enable it to make data-driven decisions that will drive economic growth. At the same time, work was being done to develop the National Data Strategy, with elements of nascent data technologies, such as big data analytics, being promoted. The results of the assessment support the Government's implementation of the Big Data Utilization Strategy, which is aligned with Uganda's Third National Development Plan (NDP III), the Digital Uganda Vision 2040 and the complementary national Digital Transformation Roadmap 2023/24-2027/28. The assessment also contributes to the national Digital Transformation Roadmap for achieving the Digital Uganda Vision, by assessing the baseline status of available big data in the country and contributes to the implementation of Uganda's Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV). The big data development interventions proposed in the strategy involve data resource evaluation, data science capacity development and big data project pilots.
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).
