Introduction

The Rural Communications Development Fund (RCDF) is Uganda’s Universal

Service Fund (USF) and it is one of the key regulatory tools for Universal Access

to communications in rural and underserved areas in Uganda. RCDF was

established in 2003 and it is Statutorily Administered by Uganda

Communications Commission (UCC).

The RCDF Annual Report for the year 2014/15 comprises of a review of the

results and performance of RCDF for the year 2014/15 against the set objectives

and consequently the new gap and also includes the planned activities for the

year 2015/16.

For all the planned activities, appropriate resources; budget, human resources,

process systems and tools were all arranged at the beginning of the financial

year 2014/15

The year 2014/15 Performance

The key measures for performance of RCDF for the year are;

i. Number of new projects initiated, with the main objective of

maximizing the number and types of projects initiated

ii. Number of running/ commissioned projects kept in operation; with

the main objective of maximizing the number and types of projects

kept in operation

iii. Absorption of budgeted funds; as a function of i and ii above

1.1 RCDF Budget performance

All the projects carried forward from the financial year 2013/14 were fully

executed except the 110 private secondary schools whose procurement was

cancelled on technical grounds.

A total of Shs 8.2 Billion was used for the executed activities against the

budgeted amount of Shs 11.9 Billion. All new project activities were executed

except for Shs. 3.2 Billion of the budget was transferred to contribute to the

funding gap of year’s main project - the DTTB project.

1.2 Projects

a) Initiation of projects

All carried forward projects were initiated except for those supported by World

Bank whose support was withdrawn on technical grounds. All newly planned

projects were executed except for Pilot projects, Connectivity and new school ICT

laboratories as the funds originally planned for them were used to cover the

funding gap for the DTTB project. Details are as shown in the table below;

1.3 Challenges

The main challenges include the following;

The World Bank termination of funding for Phase II of the ERT/ICT

programme

A big funding gap for the DTTB phase II hence causing reallocation of

funds from other project budgets such as school ICT laboratories and

internet connectivity to contribute to funding the gap

The RCDF policy framework not being fully harmonised with programme

implementation processes

2 Implementation Strategies for the year 2015/16

The following considerations have been made for the second half of the financial

year 2015/16 in order to mitigate the above challenges;

i. Develop project proposals to source funding from the Government of

Uganda Consolidated Fund and other development partners

ii. Engaging the policy level for a realistic RCDF policy framework

Infrastructure Roll out Project

UCC in partnership with UBC is implementing a project for

framework for Analogue to Digital Migration (ADM) that took

effect on 17th June 2015. The project is broken up into two

phases. Phase 1 being installation of two DTTB sites at Kololo

and was completed in December 2013.

RCDF is championing the project implementation in UCC. Phase

two is for installation of 17 selected sites strategically located

across the country that are linked with the phase I installations

to form a national DTTB network. Implementation of phase two

is underway. Upon signing of the Contracts with the various

project Implementers in December 2014, the actual

implementation of the respective project components was

executed by RCDF.

Status of Implementation as at 30th June, 2015

All site access roads upgrade completed

All site electricity upgrade completed

All staff factory training carried out

All equipment shipments dispatched for Uganda

Site 2 at Kololo fully acquired and regularised
