A network tower station, a solar power station with Huawei’s digital power micro-grid solution, and a collection of smart classroom supplies will all be part of this village.

With no financial cost to the Ugandan government, the program seeks to support the Parish Development Model (PDM), an integrated community approach, by providing smart classrooms, remote diagnostic tools, and smart photovoltaic cell installations.

In order to improve rural healthcare, the project will put in place a Remote Diagnosis System that will connect village health centers with national and regional hospitals. Additionally, it will offer Green Residential Smart PVs for consistent, reliable power.

Mr. Hover Gao, President of Huawei Sub-Saharan Africa, informed the President that the project’s objective is to demonstrate how digital infrastructure can transform rural communities.
He continued by saying that the initiative’s compatibility with Uganda’s national strategy for rural development shows Huawei’s dedication to supporting these areas.

President Museveni in turn has given the Huawei team instructions to draft a thorough proposal for building a digital cloud, opening the door for additional project discussions.

In order to address villagers’ problems and promote development, Huawei’s smart village project aims to demonstrate the impact of digital infrastructure in rural areas by offering smart technology, transparent information, and user-friendly tools.

Public relations manager for Huawei Technologies Uganda, Sooma Mukyala Fouziya, stated that the project will support digital transformation and sustainable growth through ICT in the nation, which will contribute to the PDM.

In order to encourage more competition and build a smarter, more connected Uganda, Ms. Fouziya also provided an overview of Huawei’s “One Network, One Cloud” initiative.

This initiative refers to the notion that a country should work to develop computing infrastructures like a “national cloud” on top of a network connection foundation. In order to foster additional discourse, the President has tasked the Huawei group with developing an all-encompassing blueprint for the “national Cloud.”

Huawei Smart PV has played a key role in a number of noteworthy projects, such as the Saudi Arabian Red Sea project and the Abuja Steel PV plant by Paras Energy, a Nigerian solar farm supplying green power to the steel industry. This grid is fully powered by renewable energy sources and has a 400 MW PV plus 1300 MWh BESS capacity.

Huawei has strengthened its presence in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) over the last 20 years. The company declared on June 28, 2024, that it would train an extra 150,000 talent in sub-Saharan Africa over the course of the following three years. It hopes to strengthen its standing as a business committed to satisfying the changing needs of the market in the area with its new cloud partnership with Telecom Egypt.
