The Education Technology Ecosystem Map

The Education Technology (EdTech) Ecosystem Map looks at all stakeholders across the ecosystem to provide an overview of trends in EdTech projects and solutions throughout the country. The information is based on a selection and review of 36 solutions. EdTech is the use of technology for any Information Communication Technology (ICT) product - from radio to digital apps and tools - where the primary intention is to support the delivery of educational programs and improve outcomes.

EdTech is expanding quickly through a lot of small-scale solutions developed by Ugandan social enterprises and NGOs. As the Ministry of Education takes steps towards the preparation of an ICT in Education Policy, a sound stakeholder mapping was deemed a useful resource for its development.

In addition, with a growing interest from the Government of Uganda to invest in an ICT-enabled economy, an ICT-literate workforce is required. EdTech is seen as a way to develop digital literacy and drive overall (economic) literacy. There is also significant interest from the private sector and education donors to contribute resources to the EdTech space in Uganda.
