Overcoming barriers; building bridges towards an inclusive digital environment

For the digital transformation agenda to achieve its goal of universal meaningful connectivity, it must ensure that no one is left behind, including Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and Persons with Specific Needs (PwSNs). This vision strongly resonates with the Uganda Communications Commission’s commitment to driving a digitally inclusive economy where every Ugandan can fully participate and benefit from ICT-enabled opportunities.

For the digital transformation agenda to achieve its goal of universal meaningful connectivity, it must ensure that no one is left behind, including Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and Persons with Specific Needs (PwSNs). 

This vision strongly resonates with the Uganda Communications Commission’s commitment to driving a digitally inclusive economy where every Ugandan can fully participate and benefit from ICT-enabled opportunities.

 In today’s interconnected world, where everyone is expected to confidently leverage ICTs for educational, social and economic empowerment, it is 

essential that PWDs and PwSNs are fully included in both the national and global digital transformation agenda. As the world commemorates the 

International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) 2025, under the theme “Fostering Disability-Inclusive Societies for Advancing Social Progress,” the Uganda Communications Commission, under the strategic stewardship of the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance, joins the globe in commemorating this auspicious day.
