exploring stronger cooperation in digital transformation, with discussions
focusing on artificial intelligence (AI), digital infrastructure, ICT skills
development, innovation and digital government services.
The Permanent Secretary at
Uganda’s Ministry of ICT and National Guidance, Dr. Aminah Zawedde, held
discussions with a delegation from the Korea International Cooperation Agency
(KOICA), led by Country Director Yongsu Yi, on opportunities for collaboration.
Dr. Zawedde called for
closer cooperation to strengthen Uganda’s innovation ecosystem, build local ICT
expertise and use AI to translate government information into local languages.
The discussions also
explored integrating digital solutions into the Parish Development Model,
expanding ICT training opportunities and ensuring future projects align with
Uganda’s Digital Transformation Roadmap 2023–2028.
Both sides agreed to pursue
