MTN Uganda and its Mobile Money (MoMo) subsidiary are partnering with the government to accelerate the East African country's digital transformation through co-created solutions and financial inclusion initiatives.
The telco and MoMo, in partnership with the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance, convened top government and industry leaders at the Sheraton Kampala Hotel for the MTN ICT Government Round Table.
Richard Yego, CEO of MoMo, stated that the event marked a major milestone in advancing Uganda’s National Digital Transformation Roadmap. “This was more than just a meeting. It was a powerful moment of alignment,” he said.
The Round Table brought together senior policymakers, ICT executives, and ministry representatives to align on shared goals for digitising key government and public services.
Yego emphasised the critical role of joint efforts in driving transformation.
“Public-private collaboration isn’t optional, it’s essential. We are co-creating digital solutions with ministries and agencies. The work is already underway from digitised school fees to smart agriculture payments and integrated e-government services,” he stated.
MTN Uganda’s CEO, Sylvia Mulinge, echoed the same sentiment when she highlighted how ongoing collaboration is fueling financial inclusion. “We’re working on how to support financial inclusion. We want to make it easier to collect payments and just as easy to track how that money flows, so everything becomes more efficient and more transparent,” she said.
Similarly, Ibrahim Senyonga, general manager for MTN Uganda’s Enterprise Business Unit underlined that the transformation goes beyond mobile money. “We are not just a telco. We are now a full technology partner, shaping solutions that power institutions, connect systems, and unlock potential across every sector,” said Senyonga.
