Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni officially launched a Huawei DigiTruck project in Uganda on March 8, that will provide free digital skills training for more than 10,000 beneficiaries over three years.<\/p>\n

With the launch taking place at an event celebrating International Women\u2019s Day (IWD) in Kiruhura District, the DigiTruck project falls under the umbrella of Huawei\u2019s TECH4ALL initiative, the company\u2019s long-term action plan for driving inclusion and sustainability across the globe.<\/p>\n

President Museveni through his tweet about the Huawei DigiTruck, said: \u201cI launched the Huawei DigiTruck project in Uganda. A project that will benefit over 10,000 Ugandans in a span of three years especially jua-kali, enterprise owners, women, young girls aand students through Digital Skilling.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cDigital transformation is one of the key drivers of effective human capital development, it therefore gives me pleasure to launch this Huawei project.\u201d<\/p>\n

In line with the IWD theme of \u2018DigitAll: Innovation for a gender equal future\u2019 and Uganda\u2019s national theme of \u2018Equal Opportunities in Education, Science Technology for Innovation and a Gender Equal Future\u2019, a priority beneficiary of the TECH4ALL initiative and the Uganda DigiTruck project is youth, Jua-Kali and women.<\/p>\n

\u201cDigitisation of Jua-Kali enterprises will create sustainable livelihood opportunities for the informal sector as it will enable small businesses to participate in regional and national trade. It will expand the customer landscape and allows businesses to provide clients with a greater range of services and products. The training will also improve financial inclusion through improved ability to operate mobile money operations. The training will expand employment opportunities especially in rural areas, secretarial services among others,\u201d said Col. Rtd Okello P. Charles Engola, the Minister of State for Labour, Employment and Industrial Relations.<\/p>\n

Running in partnership with the Ministry of Labour, and an international social enterprise Close the Gap, the Uganda DigiTruck project is aligned with the nation\u2019s 2040 vision, National Development Plan, and Education Digital Agenda Strategy. These initiatives will promote digital foundation skills, digital communications and information, digital transactions, using the Internet for problem-solving, online safety, civic responsibility, and data privacy, which will promote digitalisation of the Informal Sector enterprises for productivity and job growth.<\/p>\n
