However, Kenya emerged as the most improved East African country moving from position 84th to 75th and Tanzania moving backwards from it's hither-to leading position 71st to 83rd.
Uganda's embrace of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has improved over the last one year but the country still occupies a distant place in the world ranking. It's widely seen that in the next couple of years, Uganda would be moving closer in the world rankings considering more funding by the donors in the ICT projects. With a total coverage of 104 economies covered worldwide, the report ranks Singapore as the top economy in exploiting global ICT developments, replacing the US for the first time in three years. -- Secretariat UgaBYTES Initiative P.O.Box 6081 Kampala-Uganda [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check our website: www.ugabytes.org _______________________________________________ Ugabytes mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ugabytes.org/mailman/listinfo/ugabytes_ugabytes.org ------------ ***GKD is solely supported by EDC, a Non-Profit Organization*** To post a message, send it to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
