Social Media, Local Governance and Development in Uganda

This research paper aims to advance our understanding of social media and its growing relevance for promoting development in general and improving local governance and public service delivery in particular. As a key lesson, the paper draws heavily from a recently concluded “Social Media for Improving Local Governance” Project implemented by the Centre for Media Literacy and Community Development (CEMCOD) in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung.
