The support of e- society
contributes to ToroDev’ mission of promoting knowledge through appropriate ICT
tools for improved service delivery for Education, Health and Economic
Development.
ToroDev with financial support
from SIDA purchased 3 desktop computers and on 11th July, 2017 they
were handed over to Kabarole district officials to serve citizens who use the
e- society. The support of the e-society
came after Kabarole district local government sought for support from ToroDev
to revive the functionality of the district e-society center. In addition to
computers ToroDev has designed a website for Kabarole district, to see that
there is improved information access and dissemination.
District chairperson, ToroDev
team, Kabarole district information officer and members of media institutions
in Fort Portal Kabarole district were part of the handover ceremony.
“I thank Kabarole district leadership for the continuous
support given to CSO’s while executing advocacy work for improved service
delivery, ToroDev supports you with these computers to enable heads of
departments, district officials and the public to access
the information easily on website free of charge”. Said the executive director ToroDev,
Johnstone K Baguma

Johnstone added I know 3 computers are not enough
for the e-society but as an organization we shall lobby for funds to purchase
for the district more 3 computers and we shall orient the district information
officers and ICT officers on how to use the website we have designed. This
training will take place immediately the websites are online.
“I appreciate our partners ToroDev for the great support rendered to
the district, I know we really needed to revive the e-society but due to lack
of funds this problem has been there for years now, but we appreciate ToroDev for
this support, to the Donors of ToroDev thank you so much for the financial
support that has helped in improving the use of ICT in this region”. Said
Richard Rwabuhinga the Kabarole district chairperson.

Hon Richard added, as a district we shall use these computers to carry out research, do our reporting on time and also account to the peoples through the website. I call upon you members of the media to come and utilize the e-society, to carry out research and give people evidence based information. We are hopeful that our communication is going to improve and we promise to put the computers to good use to serve the intended purpose of improving communication for improved service delivery.
