This project is also the yard stick to measure how far the Ministry of ICT Uganda is doing in implementing the ICT Plolicy past by the parliament of Uganda and also promote the good work Computer aid international is doing to bridge the digital Bridge.

Background:
This Kind of a project was started in Kenya by Computer Aid International and so far many have benefited and transformation is evident as many small scale jobs in the ICT sector are visible.

In Uganda ICEDP started in 2005 and we have trained 40 people and mong these 20 where out of school youths who are now working at Nasser road in publishing firms working wth Computers.3 where people living with Disability and are now Entrepreneurs with business skills.

Unemployment is high in Uganda and the hard hit are the youth,People living with Disability and the women.
This project will equip schools with Computers and train TOTs who wil then pass on the skils to others the aim is to diseminate practical ICT skills to the students that when they leave school they can use the Computers best.This will go ahead to solve the "Computer Litracy syndrome" common among employers.

At a Community level we are making sure that Telecentres are set up and those women,PLWD and the youth out of school are also given skills and equipments.Then they can also share there views,aspirations and produces with the world as a global village and a common place.

Objectives:

Milestones:
We have a problem of lack of Funds to foot the bill of the Container from UK since we are an NGO which is membership driven this means that we relay on member fees and fund raising this takes time hence going beyond the deadline yet help is urgently required.

Budget:
The last Container we shipped from UK was a 40ft and the whole cost was Uganda Shillings 45,000,000 including Tax and shipping charges to Kampala.

Needs:
More Computers
