Uganda advocated for postal service improvements at Dubai's 28th Universal Postal Congress. ICT Minister Dr. Chris Baryomunsi and Uganda Communications Commission Executive Director Nyombi Thembo represented the nation. The delegation supported regular budget funding for UPU regional programs rather than voluntary donations. Officials believe this approach ensures consistent support for infrastructure development. Uganda pushed for changes to postal financial service agreements.
The proposed amendments would incorporate government payments and mobile transactions into existing frameworks. These modifications aim to enhance financial access in remote areas where postal facilities serve as primary service points. Director General Masahiko Metoki commended Uganda's participation during bilateral meetings. The country emphasized the regionalization needs and assistance for landlocked nations. The congress assembles 192 member countries to establish global postal policies and standards. Uganda seeks to transform its postal infrastructure to support electronic commerce and digital payment systems.
