Experts project that Uganda could generate 1.8 million jobs and $4 billion in revenue by 2030 through digital expansion. Analysts emphasize that implementing AI skills training, improving internet affordability, increasing investment, and expanding coverage are key to realizing this growth. While 75 % of Ugandans have mobile coverage, many remain offline due to cost, energy, and skill gaps. Policy reforms and targeted digital initiatives are crucial to unlocking the country’s economic potential.
