Boosting rural development by means of better communication

The Districtnet project in Uganda was set up by IICD and the Ministry of Local Governance to improve communication between district head quarters and central government agencies and to make public information more transparent. Not only did the quality and speed of the information flow improve greatly, citizens are now closer to the government than they have ever been before. After first being rolled out and implemented in Mbarara (west) Lira (north), Mbale (east) and Kayunha (central), it has now been decided that the project will be extended to other regions. IICD is currently working on a model for national up-scaling.
