Wishing you a joyful Easter.

As you spend this time with your loved ones, may it be filled with peace, warmth, and renewal. Here’s to a wonderful celebration with your families. 🐣🎉

[NITA-Uganda @NITAUganda1]

The @WorldBank has today visited the @NITAUganda1 Data Center as part of its regular mission activities under the Uganda Digital Acceleration Project (UDAP–GovNet).

The visit highlighted planned upgrades to the National Data Center to enhance cloud infrastructure, data capacity & system efficiency.

The team also visited the @pdpoUG, which is in the advanced stages of attaining independence; a key milestone in strengthening data privacy and regulatory oversight in Uganda.

Great appreciation to our partner implementers and the @MoICT_Ug for their continued support as we advance the implementation of the Uganda Digital Acceleration Project (UDAP–GovNet).

Noticed how easily personal data can be disclosed online, sometimes in the heat of the moment, or without knowing the legal implications?

𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫: Sharing someone’s personal data without their consent is a violation of the Data Protection and Privacy Act Cap 97.

✅ Before you post, ask yourself:

Do I have consent?
Could this expose someone to harm or harassment?
Would I be okay if this was shared about me?

Let’s build a safer, more respectful digital space.

Every time we connect a school, a hospital, or a government office to the internet, we’re not just building infrastructure; we’re building a smarter, more inclusive Uganda. 🇺🇬

Did you know Uganda has its own digital highway called the National Backbone Infrastructure (NBI) powered by @NITAUganda1?

This network is quietly doing big things: connecting ministries, hospitals, schools, and districts with fast, reliable internet. It’s helping government services go digital and thereby boosting transparency, and improving how services reach YOU.

Under Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act, individuals have the right to object to how their personal data is processed. This right is more powerful than you might think.

✍ Say No to Direct Marketing
✍ Challenge ‘Legitimate Interest’ Processing
✍ Research & Statistics? You Can Object Too

𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝;
✅ Clearly inform you of this right.
✅ Stop processing unless they have strong grounds not to.
✅ Act promptly on your objection, especially when it’s related to marketing.
This right is a powerful tool to help you stay in control of your personal information. Use it!

Today marks a significant step in Uganda’s digital transformation journey as we officially launch the Market Study for the establishment of Uganda’s Third National Data Centre.

This study, conducted under the Uganda Digital Acceleration Project (UDAP-GovNet), sets the stage for a robust, secure, and scalable digital infrastructure to support both public and private sector needs.

As @NITAUganda1, our commitment remains steadfast in driving secure data hosting, enhancing cybersecurity, and fostering strategic partnerships to power Uganda’s digital economy. This study will inform the next steps in ensuring a future-ready data ecosystem that aligns with global best practices.

A big appreciation to @WBG_IDA for their support, the efforts of our consultants for their detailed insights, as well as the @MoICT_Ug for their continued guidance.
