The youths are currently at the forefront of digitalising Uganda. They have digitalised the way news is disseminated to the masses directly on indirectly. The fact is, almost every corporate website or application is designed by a youth. The Digital Impact Awards Africa are here to reward those companies that have embraced the use of internet to deliver services. The year’s theme is “Maximising the Digital Dividend”. DIAA focus is on digital inclusion, financial inclusion and cybersecurity for which 14 awards categories and 14 subcategories have been set.
