Uganda’s ICT Industry organization yesterday announced changes in its leadership team, following an extraordinary meeting of its members held in Kampala earlier this week.
The ICT Association of Uganda (ICTAU) in a press release announced an interim Board of Directors of seven (7) members who will take office with immediate effect, led by Albert Mucunguzi.
“The Association remains committed to building a strong, unified ICT industry voice that will promote a competitive ICT sector in Uganda, with greater impact within the country and the region,” said Albert Mucunguzi in a Statement issued by the Association.
In 2013, the Association was officially launched by the then Minister of ICT, Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda at a ceremony also attended by key stakeholders including Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), and various sector players.
“[We believe] this [launch] will see prosperity and competitiveness of the IT Industry players and increase growth and development of the ICT sector,” said NITA-U’s Executive Director, James Saaka at the launch.
Indeed, the Association has gone on to contribute to competitiveness in the sector, including striking a key partnership with the International Trade Center (ITC) and other stakeholders in which the partners are implementing a USD 1million ICT export competitiveness project.
Currently, the Association has a cumulative membership of over 400 members, according to information obtained from the Secretariat.
Mucunguzi, 30, is a founding member of the 5-year old Association, having served as Secretary General between 2012 and 2015.

In the same press statement, the ICTAU also thanked outgoing board for their effort and commitment.
