disseminate, store and manage information”. ICT has become a very important part of the

Officially the Republic of Uganda, is a landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered on the
east by Kenya, on the north by South Sudan, on the west by the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, on the southwest by Rwanda, and on the south by Tanzania. Uganda is the second most
populous landlocked country. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion
of Lake Victoria, shared with Kenya and Tanzania, situating the country in the African Great
Lakes region. Uganda also lies within the Nile basin, and has a varied but generally equatorial
climate.

Uganda takes its name from the Buganda kingdom, which encompasses a large portion of the
south of the country including the capital Kampala. The people of Uganda were hunter-
gatherers until 1,700 to 2,300 years ago, when Bantu-speaking populations migrated to the
southern parts of the country.

Beginning in the late 1800s, the area was ruled as a colony by the British, who established
administrative law across the territory. Uganda gained independence from Britain on 9th
October 1962. The period since then has been marked by intermittent conflicts, most recently
a lengthy civil war against the Lord's Resistance Army, which has caused tens of thousands of
casualties and displaced more than a million people.
