ICTAU is a multi-stakeholder initiative formed by private sector-based Ugandans that seeks to provide professional guidance to individuals and organizations in the private sector, as well as offering advisory services to government on policy-based issues.

The association also targets to become the foremost and largest forum for ICT practitioners, managers, researchers, and policymakers to share their knowledge and experience on the technology, adoption, localization, management and policy on development informatics in the country.

Over the course of the year, the association has been actively engaging government on issues affecting the country’s ICT sector including certification of ICT service providers, advising the government on policy issues like sim registration among others.

The Association has also organized a number of networking events (LAN) with the most recent being hosted by the National Information Technology Authority of Uganda (NITA-U).
