Uganda has over the years been struggling with not only economic policies but also sporting events. Since the qualification of the African Cup of Nations last year in Gabon, Uganda is finally starting to become a powerhouse in African football. Great development and progress has been made by the FUFA team that governs all footballing activity in the country. The Cranes has been totally dominant with East African football for a while now but previously had failed to take that on into the other bigger tournaments including AFCON and World Cup. Amazingly, in the space of one year, the Cranes have managed to participate in both competitions with the latter in qualification. If all is well with the preparations, we won't be surprised to see Uganda Cranes once again beat the odds and participate in their first ever World Cup tournament in history in Russia. We should just keep our eyes wide open for this strong committed crop of players coming up in the African country.
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are transforming Africa. Across the continent, new startup digital enterprises are emerging, while existing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly leveraging ICTs to expand. Intensified use of ICTs presents Africa’s SMEs with opportunities in virtually every sector as well as room to create jobs. The pace of transformation across Africa, however, is slow and one of the major barriers is poor ICT infrastructure. A number of countries are reaping the benefits of greater digital penetration but others are watching from the sidelines. In Kenya for example, the M-Pesa mobile money disruption has enabled many SMEs to be more efficient.
