Our vision as Government is to leverage ICTs to spur economic transformation & improve people’s lives. Technology per se will be of no or little consequence if it doesn’t translate into a better quality of life for our people. #SDT2023

Get your package sent or delivered by over 30,000 @safeboda riders. Making government services available to the citizens, conveniently, is what government through @MoICT_Ug ensures. @ugapost1 is utilizing BPO to battle unemployment while improving service delivery. #PostaExpress
