Uganda will yet again host another commonwealth related function after hosting the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 2007.

The Commonwealth Postal Administration (CCPA) conference scheduled for September 17 and 20 in Kampala, will discuss postal issues; aimed at providing a forum for discussing matters of mutual interest like terms of mail exchange among the member states.

According to Mr Patrick Mwesigwa the Ag. executive director of Uganda communications Commission, the event will be a great opportunity for Uganda, East Africa and Africa in general to participate in the promotion of the communication industry. He said: “The event is timely given the importance of postal communication in bridging the digital divide in Uganda and elsewhere in Africa between those with access to internet and related technologies and those without.”

Globally the postal scene is continuing to change under the globalisation, liberalisation, technological change and the rising change in customer patterns.
