Uganda joined members of the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) in London on 30 September 2026 to celebrate the organisation’s 125th anniversary, bringing together regulators, industry leaders and other stakeholders to reflect on the evolution of telecommunications and the future of digital transformation.
Uganda was represented by a delegation from the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) led by Board Chairperson, Dr. Charity Basaza Mulenga, alongside Board Member Mr. Bernard M. Katureebe, Executive Director Nyombi Thembo and three Directors.
The programme featured a heritage tour tracing the evolution of telecommunications, keynote presentations on emerging technologies and ministerial roundtables that provided an opportunity for member countries to exchange experiences, benchmark approaches and share practical lessons from their digital transformation journeys.
A key highlight for Uganda was the recognition of UCC’s e-Booster programme at the CTO@125 Gala Dinner and Digital Excellence Awards.
Implemented through the Uganda Communications Universal Service and Access Fund (UCUSAF), e-Booster supports locally developed ICT solutions that address challenges in unserved and underserved communities and sectors.
Uganda’s participation at CTO@125 reinforces the importance of partnerships, knowledge exchange and shared learning in advancing inclusive and sustainable digital transformation.
