National Union of Disabled Persons of Uganda (NUDIPU), in collaboration with Eight Tech Consults Limited in partnership with the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) under contract number (Ref: UCC/UCUSAF GRANT/21-22/003) in accordance with its mandate under sections 3 and 5 of the Uganda Communications Act 2013 to carry out activities related to addressing digital inclusiveness of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), by enhancing knowledge management, ICT adoption, digital skills and access to E-services for persons with disabilities across the country.
