UNU-EGOV was contracted to develop a strategy to enhance and sustain the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) function in the Government of Uganda – StratICT project for short. The project aims to strengthen the capacity of ministries, central government agencies and local authorities in Uganda’s pursuit of sound and sustainable ICT-related public policy. With a focus on the digital transformation of both the public sector and society at large, the project underpins the national development goals set out in strategies such as Vision 2040, the 2nd National Development Plan (NDP II), the current eGovernment Strategy and eGovernment Master Plan, and the ICT Sector Strategy and Investment Plan (2015-2020) – in short, to deliver real value to the public through the strategic use of ICT.
