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. @internetsociety @intgovforum @ISOC_Foundation @MoICT_Ug #UIGWeek2026 #UIGF2026 #InternetGovernance #InternetForAll

We were honored to host the @ISOCUg Uganda School on Internet Governance (USIG) and the Uganda Youth IGF on April 28–29 at the Innovation Hub as part of the annual Uganda Internet Governance Week, which was themed "Building Uganda's Digital Governance Together." These sessions brought together young leaders, policy enthusiasts, and digital experts to learn about internet governance and digital rights, discuss Uganda’s role in shaping a safer, more inclusive internet, and build consensus on issues critical to our digital future. We’re proud to have provided a collaborative space that supports open dialogue and innovation. Special thanks to the Internet Society Uganda Chapter and all participants for making this a success!
