NITA-U is registering all IT service providers and practitioners in Uganda

Sooner than later, it will be harder to masquerade as an IT service provider or practitioner in Uganda. The National Information Technology Authority-Uganda (NITA-U), a body charged with regulating IT in Uganda has initiated a drive to certify all ICT service providers, training institutions and practitioners in Uganda.

The Draft National Information Technology (IT) Certification Framework is aimed at ensuring IT service providers, IT Education and Training institutions and IT professionals conform to minimum acceptable standards thereby ensuring quality delivery of IT services in the country. This registration will facilitate the process of certification of IT service providers to operate in Uganda and also enhance their capacity to operate internationally.

If you are currently supplying any government department with ICT services, you must have registered before the next financial year. Registration has commenced and is expected to run till 28th February 2015.
