Building fit-for-purpose rules for Uganda's digital future.
Uganda's digital economy is rapidly evolving, but legal and regulatory gaps continue to hinder its potential. From mobile money to platform work, digital trade to data governance, businesses and regulators are navigating frameworks that were not designed for the pace of technological change.
CeLPII works directly with businesses, regulators, innovators, and academia to co-develop policy solutions that unlock the digital economy while protecting consumers and public interest. Our work produces evidence for reform, convenes stakeholders, and translates emerging global standards into Ugandan context.
