Operation Wealth Creation Embraces ICT to Facilitate Service Delivery

Regional coordinators of Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) from 18 gazetted sub-regions across the country have undergone specialized training in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to enhance data management, operational efficiency, and overall service delivery.

 

The training follows the recent acquisition of 350 tablets from the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance, aimed at modernizing OWC’s digital operations.

 

Conducted today at the OWC headquarters in Kamwokya, the training covered advanced applications, systems management, data analysis, and modern data collection techniques to improve decision-making and service delivery.

Brig Gen Godfrey Muwanguzi, the Acting Deputy Chief Coordinator of OWC, emphasized the significance of the training, urging coordinators to apply their newly acquired skills and adhere to guidelines set by the Director of ICT. He stressed that effective and efficient service delivery would contribute to the country’s socio-economic transformation.

 

Eng. John Wekesa Wambogo, OWC’s Director of ICT, underscored the importance of using the tablets exclusively for government-related work. He highlighted their role in supporting national objectives, particularly in implementing the Parish Development Model (PDM) and other key assignments under OWC.

 

Dr. Edward Katende, OWC’s representative at the PDM Secretariat, reaffirmed the digitization of all PDM processes. He noted that the provision of tablets aligns with new policies aimed at streamlining reporting, verifying eligible PDM beneficiaries, and curbing fraudulent practices to ensure a transparent selection process.

 

The event was attended by Brig. Gen. James Kaija, Chief Staff Officer of Operations, alongside other departmental heads and officers.
