This was with financial support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and technical support from Swedish-based IT+46. The CWRC initiative arose out of the need to reduce the high costs of internet connectivity at telecentres and other public Internet access points through the use of wireless networks.netLabs!UG is located at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology (CEDAT), Makerere University: http://www.netlabsug.org Show less

RAN seeks to identify, develop and scale innovative solutions that will strengthen the resilience of African communities afflicted by natural as well as man-made shocks and stresses by applying science, technology, innovation and partnerships, and using evidence-based approaches. Since December 2015, I serve as Director of Innovation responsible for innovation projects development and management across the network as well as for further development of M-KITs (short videos and other multimedia products) as key strategy for information dissemination and capacity building. I joined RAN in February 2014 as Director, Eastern Africa Resilience Innovations Lab (EA RILab), where I led strategy and coordinated activities to ensure EA RILab’s effective contribution to RAN’s resilience framework and innovations agenda within Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. I developed and managed relationships and partnerships within the RAN, Higher Education Solutions Network (HESN) and other networks and opportunities for promoting innovations in support of resilience of African communities.

WOUGNET’s vision is a society in which women are empowered through the use of ICTs for sustainable development. Our mission is to promote and support the use of ICTs by women and women organisations in Uganda, so that they can take advantage of the opportunities presented by ICTs in order to effectively address national and local problems of Sustainable National Development. Presently, WOUGNET has over 90 women organisations as members, the majority are in urban areas and/or district towns where there is some Internet access and a few in rural areas.While our emphasis is directed towards Internet technologies, we are also interested in how these technologies can be integrated with traditional means of information exchange and dissemination including mobile phones, radio, video, television and print media. Our goal is to improve conditions of life for women by enhancing their capacities and opportunities for exchange, collaboration and information sharing.WOUGNET activities are carried out under three major program areas: Information Sharing and Networking, Technical Support, Gender and ICT Policy Advocacy. Through these program, WOUGNET expects to make a significant contribution to the use of ICTs in Uganda. WOUGNET’s key funding partners since inception include Association for Progressive Communications (APC ), Dimitra Project/FAO, Global Fund for Women, Food and Business Applied Research Fund (ARF), Hivos, SIDA/ICT4Democracy in East Africa, Spider, the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP EU (CTA), and the United Nations Development Program - Pro-poor access options (UNDP).

In addition, UIPE and ERB have intensified initiatives to reach out to women in engineering so as to enhance their participation in the engineering sector. UIPE has established the Women Engineers, Technologists and Technicians (WETT) committee with a mandate to provide leadership in achieving women’s full participation in all aspects of the engineering profession. With support from the Royal Academy of Engineering under the Global Challenges Research Fund Africa Catalyst 16/17 Scheme (GCRF Africa) and in collaboration with the UK Institution of Engineering and Technology, UIPE is currently conducting a project with the overall objective to build capacity of women in engineering and equip them with skills to enhance professionalism in engineering.
