The internet has become an integral part of our daily lives, and Uganda is no exception. Over the past decade, the country has witnessed a significant growth in internet usage, with more and more people accessing the internet for various purposes.
According to the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), the regulatory body for the communications sector in Uganda, the number of internet users in the country has grown from 2.5 million in 2010 to over 23 million in 2020. This represents a penetration rate of over 50%, which is a significant milestone for the country.
