Source: bridges.org Country: Uganda [UG] I-Network Uganda provides a platform for sharing knowledge and forming partnerships around the use of ICT for development.
"By having more of our activities centered in the urban areas (specifically Kampala the capital) we are not doing any favors to the people upcountry. It is a case of making the rich richer and the poor poorer", says Vincent Waiswa, coordinator of the I-Network Uganda.Whether and how did I-Network make a Real Impact at the ground level by looking through the lens of basic best practice guidelines for successful initiatives? In the following case study the “8 Habits of Highly Effective ICT-Enabled Development Initiatives” of Bridges.org were used as a framework to highlight what the initiative has done well.
Vincent Waiswa shares his views on the initiative's greatest success, the challenges faced, key constraints and dependencies that affect the initiative, opportunities for future improvement, and other lessons learned.
