The country’s digital economy is growing, with opportunities expanding across digital marketing, software development, e-commerce, fintech, and content creation. For Phos Creatives a female-led creative collective, supporting women is not something to be highlighted only during Women’s Month. “It is a lifelong commitment,” the founder, Rhoda Musiima, said. “Women…

In ordinary times, governments tend to believe their priorities are settled. Political debate revolves around familiar concerns such as economic growth, healthcare, taxation, education and climate policy. These issues dominate election campaigns and parliamentary agendas, shaping the rhythm of domestic politics. Yet history repeatedly shows that such priorities can shift with remarkable speed.

In a move to strengthen the nation’s digital defenses, the Cyber Security and Forensics Association of Uganda (CSFAU) has launched the Uganda National Cyber Digital Forensic Initiative (UNCDFI).

The UNCDFI also provides economic opportunities for IT professionals. By training District Cyber Forensic Representatives, the association is creating a structured career path for local talent.
