Let’s be honest.
When was the last time you read the “Terms and Conditions” before you signed up for a new service online?
We don’t blame you. It’s easy to get lost in the legal jargon.
But do you know what happens to your personal data every time you click on “I have agreed to terms and conditions”? Did you know at the mere click to accept, you could have given a way a portion of your vital information and put your data privacy in absolute jeopardy?

With that done, we called it a day.
Tuesday 17th – Generating solutions
We kicked off the second day of the sprint by reviewing the activities from the previous day. From this, we quickly realized we couldn’t solve the four problems we had identified during the sprint. The first exercise was to decide on the challenge to focus on for the remainder of the sprint. Using the voting dots, each participant selected a challenge they felt if solved would have the most impact. With just one voting round, we identified iTax’s usability as an issue that would be tackled during the sprint.

Over two-thirds of Uganda’s population lives in rural areas where information flows and access are limited leaving many left out of the digital economy and its potential socio-economic dividends. However, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) community centres promise to reduce the digital divide by facilitating knowledge sharing, information access, in such areas thus paving way for transparency and social accountability.
