Intentionally left blank
A smart city is one that utilizes and optimizes systems by use of technology and data to improve
service delivery and customer satisfaction while creating new opportunities for engagement and
problem-solving for better shared outcomes. With that in mind, the KCCA Smart City Strategic
Plan strives to holistically weave technology throughout the urban fabric as a means of
improving and enhancing community quality of life.

KCCA Smart City is an initiative of the Department of ICT that focuses on people first,
recognizing that it is civic leadership and the broader community that makes Kampala a great
place to live, work, and play. As resources and time are limited, KCCA Smart City focuses on
empowering data-driven decision making, engaging stakeholders with relevant and timely
information, and incorporating user feedback into service and program design for a better
experience and outcomes.

KCCA Smart City builds on the strengths of Kampala as a city, and concurrently addresses
current and future challenges involving the core SMART values of Sustainability, Mobility,
Accessibility, Resiliency, and Transparency. These core values are inherent throughout the
Strategic Plan, and serve as the guiding north stars based on current and future City priorities.
KCCA Smart City capitalizes on the innovative initiatives already underway and seamlessly
integrates technology, digital tools, and data to enable a connected, satisfied and innovative
citizen experience.

A smart city starts with a smart city hall, so Kampala Smart City is designed to look inward to
build an understanding of staff and the capacity to adapt to change. Therefore, the Strategic
Plan details four foundational goals surrounding this approach.

• Enhance institutional effectiveness by providing Integrated Information Systems to


support the Authority’s mission and vision;

• Enhance the client experience by improving navigation, communication and access to


services;

• Improve Collaborative Experience with strategic partners to Deliver Quality ICT Services
and;

• Increase Productivity and efficiency through innovations to meet the client changing
needs.

Message from the Executive Director
As our city grows, we are tasked with providing an
increasing array of services in a more open and
responsive way.

In response, the Kampala Capital City is shifting its


view to recognize our role as part of a larger
ecosystem. We are at the crossroads of a complex
system of social, economic, political and
technological networks. Embracing the
perspectives from individuals, industry and
academic sectors of the community is how we can
best achieve our goals, deliver programs and
services and provide an exceptional quality of life
for citizens.

Embracing a Smart City is a cornerstone for our role


as leaders to build effective institutions and
enhance public service delivery. The next frontier for
Authority is how to use data and analytics to make
better evidence-based decisions. All of this
information has tremendous potential to influence
how we plan, build and live in our city.

Kampala as a Smart City, will use technology to


transform how we build, manage and run the
Authority’s agenda which include but not limited to
garbage collection, street parking, permits, trading
licenses, move people around and design a carbon-
neutral community. As a Smart City, we will
continue to find new strategies and solutions for the
challenges and opportunities that face our city. It
will enable us to build a city that is more resilient,
livable, workable and altogether more uplifting.

Message from the Deputy Director, Information Systems Department

This Information Systems Strategic Plan (ISSP) 2020-


2026 also herein referred to as the Smart City Strategic
Plan) 2020-2026 is the guiding strategy for planning
and implementing Smart City initiatives for KCCA, and
the highest level planning document for ICT across our
organisation. The Smart City Strategic Plan 2020-2026
will guide and inform decisions on any changes to
technology and is an integral part of an organisation’s
future focus. This Smart City Strategic Plan is a
strategic view of the future for KCCA’ s Information
Systems and support and will help us understand the
investment KCCA intends to make in its technology.

Our thinking and planning to refresh the Information


Systems Strategic Plan was developed following
pending activities in the previous KCCA IT strategy
plan, a current needs assessment from internal and
external stake holders and objectives derived from the
KCCA Corporate Strategy and other national strategic
documents

From the analysis of the feedback from the


discussions, we concluded that there should be a
strategic emphasis to transform Kampala into a Smart
City. The Department of Information Systems will
continue to be responsive to the needs of our clients,
customers and business partners, and to refine the
information and communication technology direction
as we transform Kampala towards a Smart city.

SMART CITY Definition and Description

There is no universal way to design a community of the future, and there is currently no
one definition of a Smart City. Even while the term ‘Smart City’ has become the most
commonly used, it can be varied with alternate terms such as ‘Digital City’, ‘Intelligent
Community’, ‘Cyber City’, and others. Regardless of the label, a Smart City strategy or

4|Page KCCA Information Systems Strategic Plan, 2020-2026


initiative must be relevant to each individual community. Therefore, the definition of a
Smart City adopted for use in this Strategic Plan is:

“A City area that solves its core issues


through innovation and collaboration, and
that applies new technologies and data for
the benefit of all”

Smart Cities are forward-looking, progressive and resource efficient. They promote social
and technological innovation, foster openness and accessibility, incorporate new
development and management concepts, engage their residents over multiple channels
and experiment with new approaches to city life.

Strategic Alignment and Community Benefit

To move forward as a Smart City in a coordinated manner, KCCA


requires an integrated Information Systems Strategic Plan aligned to
its current situation as a lens through which the city can view and plan
for its future. This Smart City Strategic Plan is a roadmap that KCCA
can follow as it evolves through the 21st century, and seeks to support
local transformation in effectiveness, collaboration, client experience
and service delivery through innovation.

In preparing the Smart City Strategic Plan, it was ensured direct


alignment to the entity’s vision and mission.

The Vision of KCCA is “To be a vibrant, attractive and sustainable City”

It was also recognized that Smart City initiatives connect to almost


every area and directorate/function of the Authority, and complement
almost all of the Authority’s other strategies in some way, while also
shaping future decisions within those strategies as well. These efforts
are important to generate direct benefits to Kampala’s residents,
visitors, businesses, and city operations.

Focus Areas

As Smart Cities encompass a broad and deep array of potential initiatives, a framework
was also required to frame discussion and emphasize key concepts. The Information
Systems Department has adopted a set of focus areas that were utilized to identify and
present various strategies for the Strategic Plan. The Information Systems Strategic Plan
envisions to transform Kampala as a smart city and will focus on the following areas:

• SMART People: Connect, support, goods within and through Kampala


and empower citizens to innovate for city.

• SMART Governance: be open and

• SMART Economy: Facilitating the

Key Outcomes

This Smart City Strategic Plan 2020-2026 required a strong foundation and a strategic
approach to its design, particularly as it was the first of its kind for the City. The Strategic
Plan therefore aligned to a set of key outcomes and conceptual focus areas. The
Strategic Plan supports four key outcomes, aligned directly to the needs of the Authority
and broader community. These outcomes served to focus discussion, and guide the
selection of each of the Strategic Plan’s strategies and actions.

The outcomes include:

Institutional Effectiveness
Support opportunities for process alignment, cost reduction, and
revenue improvement.

Client Experience
Enhance client experience through participation, client feedback and
Online efficiency.

KCCA’s SMART City Foundation

Kampala Information Systems Strategic Plan has been built on a strong foundation of
the City’s previous efforts and the community’s key advantages. The Authority has
previously completed a variety of Smart City projects, for example, the City has installed
e-Services like eCitie, interactive web portal, Unified messaging, Automated Revenue
Collection, Computer Aided Mass Valuation and much more. These initiatives have been
built upon, and integrated into the strategic directions within this Strategic Plan.

The capital city community itself also has numerous advantages that make it a prime
candidate for Smart City success. As a capital city of Uganda, it is one of the most
preferred place to live, raise children and invest. Kampala is also in one of the higher
growth regions of Uganda with forecasts that the community population will steadily
grow. This growth will mean need for new jobs, new homes, new infrastructure and new
economic activity. However, with this growth also comes new pressures, such as on local
infrastructure, City programs and services, transportation networks, and environmental
preservation. This reinforces the importance of the Smart City Strategic Plan as a
proactive response – a means to ensure its infrastructure is future-proofed, to integrate
key principles into new neighborhood planning and to embed standards into policies that
will ensure the community’s long-term success.

ICT Department Organisation

ICT Department is led by the Deputy Director, ICT. The department is responsible for
planning the development, implementation, maintenance and support of all ICT systems
and infrastructure to the Authority and guiding the Authority on the development and
implementation of ICT policies and procedures. The strategic direction of this
department is to provide efficient, effective and continuously improving ICT systems to
enhance staff productivity.
The core functions of the Department of ICT include;

a) Develop, review and coordinate implementation and compliance to approved ICT


policies and best practices in line with the KCCA ICT Strategy and industry
standards.

to understand goals and Information Technology services and requirements.

External Users: The Authority directorates provide services to external users including
residents, local businesses and industries, community organizations, and other
governmental agencies. Technology has either a direct or an indirect impact on the City’s
ability to deliver these services. The KCCA’s long-term outcomes include community
engagement and fostering a dynamic smart economy. The Smart City Strategic Plan
recognizes the need to consider how technology can affect the external users and assist
in achieving the Authority’s goals

• This Strategic plan is intended to be a living agile document that is intended
to keep in line with changes in technology, public and social expectations.

Guiding Principles for Implementation

To be flexible and recognize that new opportunities will continually arise as digital
technologies evolve. Potential new activities can be assessed and prioritized based on
alignment with the strategic outcomes and initiatives that underpin this Strategy.

Customer Residents, business, industry and government will be engaged early and
Centric often. We will use technology to be more community connected and
encourage participation, access and inclusion through the design of
citizen centric digital services.
Collaboration We will make it easy to partner and focus on shared outcomes.
Innovation We will influence regulation to reduce red tape, test and trial new
technology.
Measurable We will measure the effectiveness of the smart city approach to projects

Project/Initiativ Priority will be given to projects that meet any of the following criteria
e Prioritization
1. In Train We already have a project underway that supports one or more of our
Smart City Objectives
2. Foundation Particular infrastructure that is required to support Smart City Objectives
Project
3. Strong A commercial business case that shows significant savings or community
Business benefit
Case
4. Funding Grant Funding is available
Available
5. Demonstrati Pilots and demonstrations projects that are visible to the community and

Risk Management

This is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated


and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the
probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of
opportunities. Risk is measured in terms of likelihood and impact.

The KCCA Risk Management Manual will be utilized as an instrument to assist in


identifying, assessing, prioritizing risks during the implementation, monitoring and
evaluating the smart city initiatives and projects. The Manual will also be used in
identifying opportunities to mitigate risks.

Measuring the Smart City

22 | P a g e KCCA Information Systems Strategic Plan, 2020-2026


The Kampala Smart City projects/initiatives will be measured and tracked through a
variety of tools including:

• Achievements and ICT Department’s Annual Business Plan and Budget.


• Annual Smart City Strategic Plan progress reports
• Global, national and regional benchmarking.
Against the goals of the Smart City

Smart City Strategic Plan Resourcing

Implementation of the Smart City Strategic Plan will require dedicated staff. This staff will
develop the Smart City program and manage the complex Smart City projects and relationships
required for a Smart City. The required financial resource will be identified through the indicative
and entity’s Annual Budget process.

Innovation Challenges will also require an innovation fund to ensure that adequate resources
are available to contribute to the co-creation or innovation of the challenge. Innovation
Challenges and pilot projects will be public procurements.
