Abstract:
The world has embraced the use of Information Communication Technology (ICTs) to network as either service providers or consumers. Learning institutions, businesses around the world have used different ICT platforms to revolutionize services and enable customers to access services without the need to travel. Teaching, adoption and learning processes have relied on the use of ICTs like computers, internet, networks and software and smart phones. ICTs have been used to enhance, adopt and support new innovations and strategies to improve their produce and find platforms through which to sell them. The use of technology, whether for teaching, learning, trade or farming, has connected people in and outside their communities and regions with the purpose of accessing information. This study aimed at finding out the level of ICT adoption for community development in Ntungamo District. Using mixed methods approach, the study found that the community has knowledge on the use of ICT platforms like radios, televisions, friends and public spaces but with limited training on their use. Emphasis should be put on extensive training to support the community for development purposes. A shift in the adoption of more ICTs for community projects could go a long way in ensuring their sustainability.
