A most worthy initiative!
Uganda is taking key steps to prepare for and embrace the 4th Industrial Revolution. I see at least 7 good friends on this task force of 21 and can say with a measure of confidence that we are in good hands.
President Yoweri Museveni inaugurated a team of experts, Monday April 8, to guide the country on the 4th Industrial Revolution Technologies. During the ceremony that took place at State House, Entebbe, and witnessed by Prime Minister, Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda, among others, the President cautioned the team to take great care integrating the revolution well for the benefit of the people of Uganda.
"The advance of science is the primer of all social change. In order to use it well, you must integrate it well", he said.
President Museveni emphasised to the team to think holistically while embracing the 4th Industrial Revolution saying that the new technology should help all the people to produce goods and services according to comparative advantage.
"I call upon this team to think in a holistic manner, not uni-dimensional. I have been watching some speakers suggest that Africa should not engage in manufacturing, instead focusing only on food production. We should avoid such landmines. Africa must manufacture and focus on areas of its comparative advantage", he added.
He stressed the need for Africa to carry out market integration so that the continent enjoys integrated economic space; adding that the 4th Industrial Revolution should work to help all other traditional sectors bearing in mind that human needs do not change.
The Minister for Information, ICT and Communications, Hon. Frank Tumwebaze, saluted the President for launching the taskforce saying the move demonstrated the NRM Government commitment and willingness to go an extra mile in digital transformation.
Former ICT Minister, Eng. John Nasasira thanked the President for the trust in the committee adding that their work will entail customisation of the benefits of the 4th Industrial Revolution to Uganda.

The National Task Force has been selected from innovation hubs, private sector, academia, civil society, Uganda's development partners and the Government of Uganda.
