The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), through the Uganda Communications Universal Service Access Fund (UCUSAF), has launched a call for business plan proposals to implement key activities relating to the skilling of youths in multimedia production to foster innovation and creativity in local content and create jobs in the creative cultural industries.
UCC/UCUSAF seeks to collaborate with a suitably qualified stakeholder or consortium of stakeholders with the requisite qualifications, resources, competencies, and experience to implement initiatives aimed at addressing some of the challenges faced by the youth, especially unemployment.
The general objective of the project is to develop the capacity of youth to adopt ICT tools and applications in multimedia content production and related business processes, and thereby stimulate their creativity, innovation, productivity, and competitiveness in national and international markets.
