As of March 2025, Uganda had approximately 14.2 million internet users, representing 28% of the population, marking a modest increase from 13.3 million (27%) in early 2024. Digital services continue to expand, particularly in fintech and e-commerce, with the digital economy projected to reach US$2.5 billion in 2025, up from US$1 billion in 2022.

Mobile money platforms now support over 27 million active accounts, reinforcing digital financial inclusion. Government digitisation has also advanced, with an estimated 62% of public services accessible online through integrated systems such as the Parish Development Management Information System (PDMIS) and the Integrated Health Management Information System (IHMIS).
