  • Mobile Money Use in Uganda: a Preliminary Study
    Mobile Money Use in Uganda: A Preliminary Study Ali NDIWALANA1/3, Olga MORAWCZYNSKI2, Oliver POPOV1/4 1Mid Sweden University, Sundsvall, Sweden 2Applab, Grameen Foundation, Kampala, Uganda 3Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda 4Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden Abstract: As mobile phones proliferate in the developing world and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) look for ways to diversify from voice and SMS, mobile money has emerged as an opportunity. While currently used mainly for money transfers, mobile money advocates are enthusiastic about its capability to transform the financial fabric of society, particularly for the poor. We report on a study of mobile money users in Uganda across 3 MNOs. Besides understanding current usage of mobile money, we explore different daily financial transactions of respondents. We investigate the relative importance of these transactions, their frequency, and methods of payment used. Satisfaction with current payment methods and strength of intention to use mobile money if offered for these transactions are captured. The goal is to identify potential new ways to use mobile money in Uganda. 1. Introduction As mobile phones proliferate around the developing world, new services are emerging as mobile network operators (MNOs) diversify services to compliment voice and SMS in a progressively competitive environment where the goal is improving customer retention and reducing churn (Mendes, Alampay et al. 2007). A prominent emerging service is mobile money—a term used to loosely refer to money stored using the SIM (subscriber identity module) as an identifier as opposed to an account number in the conventional banking sense. A notational equivalent in value is then kept on the SIM within the mobile phone, which is also used to transmit payment instructions.

  • Uganda | Freedom House
    Uganda | Freedom House https://www.freedomonthenet.org/country/uganda/freedom-on-the-net/2019 Internet freedom in Uganda suffered as the government continued to crack down on online expression, including by blocking over two dozen pornographic websites and imposing a tax on social media and communication platforms for the purpose of curbing “gossip. Reports about the government’s close collaboration with the Chinese technology firm Huawei raised concerns about surveillance as the 2021 presidential election approaches. During the reporting period, Huawei allegedly helped the government surveil prominent opposition Parliament member and presidential hopeful Robert Kyagulanyi, better known as Bobi Wine. While Uganda holds regular elections, their credibility has deteriorated over time, and the country has been ruled by the same party and president since 1986. The ruling party, the National Resistance Movement (NRM), retains power through patronage, the manipulation of state resources, intimidation by security forces, and politicized prosecutions of opposition leaders. June 1, 2018 – May 31, 2019 In July 2018, the government implemented a controversial social media tax, requiring users on a number of popular social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp to pay a daily fee of $0.05, which is prohibitively expensive for many users. Internet service providers (ISPs) were ordered to block over 50 social media and communications platforms for users until they paid the tax (see A2). In July 2018, the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) directed ISPs to block a list of 27 websites for “streaming pornographic content” (see B1). In February 2019, the UCC instructed the Daily Monitor to suspend its website, ostensibly for failing to register the site as required by a 2018 government regulation.
