REFRESHER TRAINING ON EDMS AND E-REGISTRY UNDERWAY FOR WAKISO DISTRICT HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND REGISTRY STAFF

What the report says

Wakiso District Local Government says heads of departments and registry staff are taking part in a refresher training on the Electronic Document Management System (EDMS), e-governance tools and the e-registry at the National Information Technology Authority–Uganda (NITA-U) offices in Kampala. The district says the programme is meant to strengthen its electronic records management systems and improve the capacity of staff who handle official correspondence and registry records.

According to the district’s notice, the training is focused on helping participants use EDMS and e-registry systems more effectively to manage administrative data, monitor official reports and protect important records. It is also intended to support better document tracking, quicker internal feedback and more efficient service delivery across district offices.

The local government frames the exercise as part of its wider commitment to digital transformation and e-governance. In practical terms, this reflects a broader public-sector shift in Uganda toward digital records and online administrative processes, which are generally used to improve transparency, accountability and responsiveness in government operations.

The announcement did not provide details on the number of participants or how long the refresher session will run, but it places the training at a time when districts are under pressure to modernize record keeping and streamline service delivery.
