What should you do with your dead ICT devices? Keep old or faulty phones, computers, TVs, chargers, and other unwanted electronics separate from household waste. On #InternationalEWasteDay, UCC highlights this year’s theme, “Fast Tech,” which draws attention to electronics being quickly bought, replaced, and discarded. Through our ICT E-Waste Collection Project, UCC supports the Government's waste management efforts and works with partners and relevant stakeholders to support responsible collection and management of e-waste as part of broader waste management efforts. We are also developing digital tools to guide you on data protection, repair, reuse, and responsible disposal. Identify ICT e-waste and keep it separate from ordinary waste. #FastTech #UCCICTEWasteProject #DigitalUganda @MoICT_Ug @azawedde @UCC_ED @joe_bogere @Bbossa

RECAP | 16th Communications Consumer Parliament Yesterday, @UCC_Official convened consumers, service providers and other stakeholders in Fort Portal for the 16th Communications Consumer Parliament under the theme “A Safer Digital Future.” The meeting gave consumers a platform to raise concerns, seek answers and contribute to improving communications services. This year’s discussions focused on child online protection, with stakeholders calling for stronger safeguards, greater public awareness and joint action to keep children safe online. The meeting also highlighted the need to help children benefit from digital opportunities while protecting them from online risks. Yesterday's session reinforced the importance of consumer voices in improving service delivery and protection. Addressing concerns raised, following up on commitments and using consumer feedback will be key to building trust, strengthening accountability and creating a safer digital future for all. #CCP16 #ConnectedUg2030 #DigitalUganda @UCC_ED @JulesMweheire @Bbossa

REMARKS | 16th Communications Consumer Parliament @UCC_Official Director of Economic Regulation, Content and Consumer Affairs, Julianne R. Mweheire (@JulesMweheire), highlighted the importance of collective action in building a safer digital future. While 69.7% of children surveyed reported knowing how to use the internet, only 23.6% of parents were aware that their children used it. The survey also found that 52.9% of children had experienced cyberbullying, while 24.1% had never disclosed the challenges they faced online. These findings underscore the need for stronger collaboration among parents, schools, communities, service providers and other stakeholders to promote digital awareness and strengthen child online protection. #CCP16 #ConnectedUg2030 #DigitalUganda @MoICT_Ug @azawedde @UCC_ED @Bbossa
