ICT consulting for Ugandan businesses that need more than generic technology advice
Peter Bamuhigire is an independent ICT consultant based in Kampala. He works with established organisations — businesses, NGOs, and institutions — that need a technology adviser with no vendor affiliations, no standard script, and direct experience of how Ugandan business environments actually operate.
What Ugandan organisations need from an ICT consultant that most cannot provide
Most ICT advice arrives in one of two forms: a vendor representative recommending the vendor's own product, or a generalist with a Western framework that doesn't account for Ugandan realities — unreliable power and internet infrastructure, a predominantly mobile-first workforce, multilingual operations, and systems that non-technical staff can use. A third option exists: an independent ICT consultant with 15 years inside Ugandan and East African organisations, no vendor affiliations, and solutions designed for the environment they'll actually operate in.
What an ICT consulting engagement looks like
Every engagement begins with an honest audit: what is working, what is costing more than it should, what risks you are carrying, and what the gap is between what your technology enables and what your business needs. That audit informs a prioritised plan — not a wish list, but a sequenced set of actions ordered by impact and feasibility. Past Uganda and East Africa engagements have covered ERP selection and implementation, network infrastructure design, staff training, ICT policy documentation, and technology vendor evaluation.

Common questions about ICT consulting in Uganda
Questions asked most often by Ugandan organisations before starting an engagement.
How much does ICT consulting cost in Uganda? +
ICT consulting engagements in Uganda are scoped individually. A systems audit for a small-to-medium organisation typically runs from UGX 3,000,000–8,000,000 (USD 800–2,200) depending on the size of the organisation and the scope of assessment. Longer-term advisory retainers start from USD 750 per month. Every engagement begins with a 30-minute diagnostic call at no charge.
Do you work with NGOs and institutions, not just businesses? +
Yes. A significant portion of the practice's Uganda engagements have been with NGOs, research institutions, and public sector organisations. The methodology adapts to the governance, reporting, and procurement requirements that apply to these organisations.
Can you work with organisations outside Kampala? +
Yes. Engagements have covered organisations in Entebbe, Mbarara, Gulu, Fort Portal, and secondary towns across Uganda, as well as remote implementations managed from Kampala. Travel for field work is costed into the engagement as needed.
