Demographics

In 2018, more than half of Ugandans were between the ages of 15 and 29.
An estimated 78 percent of people who exit elementary school do not seek a higher degree, resulting in a large eligible workforce.
At this rate, more than half of today’s young people will be unable to participate in the global digital revolution by 2030.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected young women in underserved communities.

WITU’s strategy focuses on using advanced networking tools to harness Uganda’s female workforce, accelerate growth, and establish Uganda’s global tech presence with women and men leading the way.
