The UCC was established to implement the provisions of The UCC Act 2013 in accordance with the Laws of Uganda, with the principal goal of developing a modern communications sub-sector and Infrastructure in Uganda, in conformity with the operationalization of the Telecommunications Policy.

The Mandate of UCC
The Commission is mandated to undertake a range of functions in the following areas:

Licensing and standards; Spectrum management; Tariff regulation;

Research and development; Consumer empowerment; Policy advice & implementation;
