About Uganda School of Internet Governance

The Uganda School of Internet Governance (UgSIG) is an annual capacity-building program aimed at equipping Ugandans with knowledge and skills in Internet governance. Launched as part of a broader effort to raise awareness and strengthen Uganda’s participation in Internet governance, UgSIG offers a platform for diverse actors, including civil society, government representatives, the private sector, academia, and youth to understand, contribute to, and influence the policies and norms that define the internet. It brings together youth, professionals, policymakers, and civil society actors to explore key digital policy issues. UgSIG promotes inclusive participation in shaping Uganda's digital future through training, dialogue, and mentorship. The school also serves as a platform for preparing participants to engage in national, regional, and global Internet governance forums.
