Last evening, I joined Research and Education Network for Uganda (RENU) community in celebrating 20 years of transforming education and research through connectivity. What started as a bold vision to make internet access affordable for our universities has grown into a cornerstone of Uganda’s digital transformation.
I witnessed its foundation in 2006 while serving on @Makerere University Council committee of ICT when the then ICT Director Dr. Francis Tusubira presented the idea to the university council aimed at solving the high cost and unreliability of internet services to universities. The aim was to form a consortium of universities and research institutions who would buy bulk internet directly from international suppliers at a fraction of what was being charged to them.
I’m glad now they provide high-speed internet connectivity and affordable ICT solutions to universities, research institutions, schools, colleges, hospitals, and the broader research & education community in Uganda with over 1000 connected campuses and sites.
From enabling collaboration among institutions to supporting e-learning, research, and innovation, RENU has proven that when we work together, we unlock limitless possibilities. The impact is real; students accessing global knowledge, researchers collaborating across borders and institutions delivering better services.
As we look ahead, the focus must shift to maximising this infrastructure, embracing AI, strengthening research, and ensuring every learner and institution benefits, regardless of location.
Government remains committed to supporting policies and partnerships that drive digital inclusion and innovation. Together, we can build a knowledge-driven economy that positions Uganda competitively on the global stage.
Congratulations to the board, partners and all stakeholders on this milestone. The journey continues.
Last week at the 101 District Conference, We truly showed up and showed out. We are so proud to have been recognized across multiple categories for our efforts this past year.
Coming home with five major wins:
1️⃣Club of the Year Award (Winner - Tier 2)
2️⃣Rotaract Image Award (Winner - Tier 2)
3️⃣Community Service Award (Winner - Tier 2)
4️⃣DCA Highest Attendance
5️⃣DCA Highest Per Capita Attendance
A huge shoutout to every member and partner who made this possible. The energy at the #DISCON101 was unmatched, and we’re ready to keep this momentum going! 🚀
