MultiChoice Africa and Uganda’s Ministry of ICT and National Guidance have reached an agreement to build a stronger partnership.

MultiChoice, Africa’s largest satellite TV broadcaster, began operations in Uganda 30 years ago, but the new Memorandum of Understanding explores increased collaboration in digitalisation, enhancing Uganda’s content sector, intellectual property rights protection and skills development.

“We view Uganda as a strategic market for our commercial growth and key socio-development initiatives,” said Dr Keabetswe Modimoeng, executive: Regulatory & Corporate Affairs, Multichoice Group.

The signing ceremony, which took place in Johannesburg, included Dr. Aminah Zawedde, Permanent Secretary of Uganda’s Ministry of ICT and National Guidance and Hassan Saleh, MD of Multichoice Uganda.
