1. Foreword

ICTs are a key factor for socio-economic development. It is therefore vital that

ICTs are made accessible to all people so as to make those people have an

opportunity to contribute and benefit from the socio-economic development

that ICTs create.

RCDF is a mechanism that UCC employs to leverage communications access to

the hard-to-reach areas such as the rural areas which remain after operators

and service providers have selected their preferred areas of operation. RCDF

then causes the delivery in those areas, of communications services that are

similar to those ordinarily delivered by operators and service providers.

To deliver communications services into rural underserved areas of Uganda,

RCDF uses districts as the building blocks for a more equitable delivery. In

order to enhance the sustainability of delivery of ICTs in underserved areas,

RCDF forms strategic partnerships with the public and the private sector in

districts. Delivery of ICT services through the RCDF programme involves

several stakeholders that among others include the district local

administration, area MPs, the RDCs, local government officials such as CAOs,

ICT project implementers, and most importantly, the users.

Through the RCDF programme, ICT opportunities are made available to all the

stakeholders in their respective settings. All stakeholders therefore ought to

seize the opportunity by embracing and integrating the ICTs made available

into their development programmes and activities. That way, the country and

more specifically the rural underserved areas will achieve meaningful socio-

economic development.

1. Background

The Uganda Communications Act of 1997 mandates UCC to establish and

administers a Universal Service Fund (USF) for communications in Uganda.

UCC thus establishes and administers a USF called the Rural Communications

Development Fund (RCDF).

RCDF was created through its first RCDF Policy of 2001 whose actual

implementation started in the year 2003. Under this Policy, the main goal of

RCDF was to provide access to basic ICT to the rural and underserved

communities of Uganda.

Following the realization of the goal of the RCDF Policy of 2001, and the

changes in the external and internal environment of RCDF, a new policy the

RCDF Policy of 2010 was adopted with its main goal being the enhancement of

usage of ICT in the rural communities of Uganda.

RCDF projects are established in areas where no similar ICT facilities exist and

such facilities are not expected to be established in those areas in the

foreseeable future.

Districts are the main administrative blocks that the RCDF programme uses in

order to ensure that the communication services provided are equitably

distributed throughout the country.

2. Introduction The RCDF program seeks to provide sustainable access to ICT services to people in rural areas. The projects are strategically located in more populated centers with relatively more commercial activity to ensure that the projects are self sustaining. A total of 40 ICT projects have been established in the district through the RCDF programme of UCC. In conjunction with various project stakeholders, UCC/RCDF determines a specific location for each project. The population distribution within the district as shown in Table 2 is also a key determinant of the location of a project. Like all other projects of RCDF, the ICT projects are established as partnerships between UCC and a private or public partner. UCC provides

technical support and partial funding. The ICT facilities are wholly owned by the private partner who is obliged to ensure that the facility is available for use at all times for a given period of time, of say, 5 years. By the end of this period it is expected that the facilities have developed capacity for self sustainability and other people are able to replicate them within the area in order to satisfy a bigger demand.

3. Projects Profile

In line with the RCDF policy provisions, RCDF projects in districts of Uganda

have been implemented under the following program areas; Internet Points of

Presence (POP), Public payphones, Research projects, Postal support projects,

Multipurpose Community Tele - centers (MCT’s), School ICT facilities, Health

Care ICT facilities, and Call Centers.

The number of projects supported under each programme area is indicated in Table 1 shown below;

Number and type of RCDF projects in Kabale district

a) Internet Points of Presence (POP)

The internet POPs provides a wireless connectivity network in a radius of about

5-10km around the POP. People within this area can access connectivity such

as internet connectivity at costs, speeds and types of services that are

comparable to those in the capital city Kampala.

Page 6: RCDF PROJECTS IN KABALE DISTRICT, UGANDA · 2017. 12. 29. · 1 Rural Communications Development Fund (RCDF) RCDF PROJECTS IN KABALE DISTRICT, UGANDA UCC Support through the RCDF

Through a competitive bidding process, the Uganda Telecom Ltd won the

tender for subsidy to set up POP in the district.

A typical POP in Tororo town

The POP is designed to provide a minimum combined speed of 480Kbps.

However, with the advent of new technologies on the market, the combined

speed and range of services provided keeps increasing.

All who wish to make use of the POP in the district need to contact Uganda

Telecom Ltd. Through their own expansion programmes other operators also

continue to establish their own POPs in various districts of the country. It may

therefore be good to check all operators in order to make a comparison for a

better deal.

The specific location of the RCDF supported POP in the district is as shown in

the Annex.

b) Internet Cafes/ICT Training Centres

This program provides public access to internet and ICT training services to

people in the district.

Like all other projects of RCDF, the facilities are established as partnerships

between UCC and a private or public partner.

A typical ICT training centre/Internet café in Amuria town, Amuria

district

The ICT training centre/Internet café is made up of a minimum of 5 computers

that are all connected to the internet. Services provided at the ICT training

centre/Internet café are paid for at market competitive rates for the area. Other

people in several other districts have replicated the internet cafes/ICT training

centres and offer similar or better services. A user may therefore need to

compare the services in all the cafes in the area for a better deal.

The specific locations of the RCDF supported ICT training centres and Internet

cafe in the district are shown in the Annex

c) District Web Portal

UCC through the RCDF programme developed the district web portal and handed it over to the district local administration. The district web portal name is:

www.kabale.go.ug Common information provided by the district web portals include; the district overview, Health, Agriculture, Education, Government & Politics, Investment & trade, Tourism, Government Programs, Environment, SMS services,

Page 8: RCDF PROJECTS IN KABALE DISTRICT, UGANDA · 2017. 12. 29. · 1 Rural Communications Development Fund (RCDF) RCDF PROJECTS IN KABALE DISTRICT, UGANDA UCC Support through the RCDF

Infrastructure, News and district Contacts,. The web portal also provides a translation in to a common language found in the district.

The web portal may also be used for generation of income to the district

through activities such as renting out space to advertisers.

The district Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) is the official responsible for all

issues regarding the management, annual fees, updating and uses of the web

portal

d) Public Pay phones

The Public Pay phones take two main forms

(i) The Standard type that is only limited to initiating calls

(ii) A Community Information Center (CIC) which is used for both

initiation and limited termination of calls.

The CIC also provides other basic services such as charging phones

A detailed list showing locations of public pay phones in the district is shown

in the Annex.
