We are still hung up on the conversations, connections, and commitments that emerged from the Uganda Internet Governance Forum 2026.
What an incredible day it was! We witnessed meaningful dialogue, bold ideas, youth-led innovation, and renewed commitments to building an Internet that works for everyone.
Together, government, Parliament, civil society, academia, the private sector, the technical community, development partners, and young people came together to explore how Uganda can harness Artificial Intelligence, strengthen digital trust, protect digital rights, and ensure that no one is left behind in our digital transformation.
Here's a look back at some of the highlights from the #UIF2026
Together, we're shaping an inclusive, trustworthy, and sustainable Internet for Uganda.
