At the end of 2010, EIAAT (Entrepreneurship Institute of Applied and Appropriate Technology Ltd) undertook a survey to find out the effect of the digital divide in Uganda. it set the target to cover 30 schools and 30 internet cafes mostly in the city and its suburbs. This is the area which is believed to be most up to date with the digital divide. To our surprise, the report showed that not only the majority of the public in these organizations did not under stand the term digital divide, they actually did not have a clue as to how to go about bridging it.
We believe this was a step to start to understand the problem and thus devise means of bridging this gap.
