UCC moves to digitize boda boda sector

While some boda bodas already use digital platforms, the majority of riders remain excluded from the digital space. To close this gap, the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has launched a new initiative aimed at integrating them into the digital economy. The programme seeks to enhance safety, improve operational efficiency, and equip one of Uganda’s largest informal sectors with the digital skills needed for the future. Betty Ndagire reports.
