The Ministry of ICT & National Guidance in partnership with UICT and the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is creating a database of Uganda’s software engineers and developers who will be engaged to take part in different programming projects both locally and internationally.
Anyone can provide their details in the form they provided if they are a software engineer or a software developer. The ICT ministry has assured all developers that all information that they will receive will be handled with utmost confidentiality.

The ICT Ministry is using a Google form to capture this developer information, which requires developers to register their emails, phone number, name, age, gender, and where they stay (District/Town/City). Developers are also required to indicate their level of education which includes; High school or equivalent, Diploma, Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, and Doctorate.
More information that will be required is a developer’s level of experience in Programing so they need to indicate whether they are Entry-level or Junior software developers, intermediate or expert however how this parameter is measured is still subjective and remains at the discretion of the developer. Developers need to indicate all the Programming Language (s) and frameworks that they are experienced in and on top of that they should detail all the project(s) they have implemented with relevancy to programming.
