Who We Are
The ICT Association of Uganda (ICTAU) is a multi-stakeholder initiative formed by private individuals from Uganda. We provide professional guidance to individuals and organizations in the private sector, and offer advisory services to government on policy-based issues.
The Association conducts and disseminates research and advocates for the establishment of projects and policies concerning the adoption and usage of development informatics in Uganda — the appropriate design, localization, development, implementation and usage of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to achieve development goals.
Our primary goal is to extend the reach and benefits of ICTs to all sectors and facets of Uganda through professionalism.
