Let's give Dr @azawedde her flowers.
Her five-year tenure as Permanent Secretary at @MoICT_Ug has been marked by significant progress in Uganda's journey towards digital transformation.
Among the milestones recorded during her leadership are over 5,000 km of National Backbone optical fibre, more than 1,500 connected government service points, 47.1 million active mobile subscriptions, 18.5 million active mobile internet subscriptions, over 150 entities involved in information exchange through UGHub, 10,594 parishes reached through PDMIS and 647 government ICT systems documented.
I have no doubt that @azawedde will continue making great strides in her new coordination role at @OPMUganda.
Thank you for your service, Dr Aminah Zawedde!View quoted post on X
.@JackieNamaraRuk: Writing this book with @dorothy_kyeyune gave us the opportunity to have honest conversations and bring out workplace experiences that people can relate to. We wanted to create something grounded in real-life experiences and local examples that speak to the realities of Ugandan professionals.

The President’s decision to appoint Dr. Aminah Zawedde to the Office of the Prime Minister sends a clear signal of confidence in her leadership and expertise. In 5 years, she grew the number of national systems built through the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance from 9 to 43, most of them built by Ugandan firms that the state now owns.
Business registration dropped from 10 to 15 days to about three hours. More than 3.5 million people have been paid through a system that checks every beneficiary against the national ID database.
Over 11 million learners now sit on a school register that replaced one from 1999. And one of her most important changes was the least visible: before 2023, a skilled government engineer had no career path, so the best ones left. Her schemes of service gave them a ladder to climb and a reason to stay. That is how a country keeps its talent.
Congratulations on your appointment @azaweddeView quoted post on X
