Computers and the Internet are becoming more accessible in Uganda.
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard have partnered up to raise the bar in the IT sector.
According to a BizCommunity.com article, "the partnership has made laptops, complete with a one-year warranty, available to Ugandans for US$175".
Support is also available: People can bring their laptops to Business Information Centers, specifically catering to rural IT needs, which offer maintenance and space to cultivate entrepreneurship in technology.
