This afternoon, the Permanent Secretary of
@MoICT_Ug, Dr.
@azawedde, together with fellow Permanent Secretaries from
@ministry_lands,
@OPMUganda, and
@MoWT_Uganda, visited Cornerstone Plaza in downtown Kampala to see firsthand how ICT e-waste moves through Uganda’s informal and formal systems, and to gain practical insights into the ICT e-waste collection project being implemented by
@UCC_Official.
The visit offered a real, on-the-ground understanding of how ICT devices are handled once they leave households, moving through repair, refurbishment, and resale rather than immediately becoming waste.
They also interacted with a vibrant ecosystem where young technicians repair, refurbish, and resell devices, making technology more affordable while creating jobs and skills.
