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.
