Kampala, Uganda
A software development company in Uganda with systems in production, not promises.
Information Village Limited is a software development company in Kampala, Uganda, running 25+ production systems across three countries: national government platforms, NGO data systems, fintech integrations and AI products. A business system costs UGX 1.5M to 25M, a programme platform UGX 25M to 90M, and every inquiry gets a reply within four business hours.
What we build
We build the systems organisations actually run on: government registries and dashboards, NGO data collection and M&E platforms, e-commerce and payment systems with mobile money, and AI-backed products. Everything ships with CI/CD, monitoring, tests and documentation - production systems, not prototypes.
- Web platforms, portals and dashboards (Next.js, React, Laravel, FastAPI)
- Mobile-money and payment integrations (MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Flutterwave, PesaPal)
- Government registries and national data systems
- AI systems and autonomous security (our own SENTINEL protects our fleet 24/7)
Why organisations pick a Kampala team
Local presence changes delivery. We understand Ugandan procurement, the Data Protection and Privacy Act, mobile-money rails and the realities of deploying for users on mid-range Android phones over mobile data. For international clients, East Africa Time overlaps the full European workday and US East Coast mornings, and we invoice in USD via bank transfer, Wise or Payoneer. And because our own products and infrastructure run from here, the team you hire is the team that keeps systems alive at 3am - we are operators, not just contractors.
How engagements work
Discovery and design take one to two weeks each and produce a written spec. The build runs four to twelve weeks with weekly working deployments. A business system costs UGX 1.5M to 25M, a programme platform for an NGO or donor-funded team UGX 25M to 90M, and keeping a system running costs UGX 600,000 to 6M a month in hosting and support. You own the code and infrastructure from day one, and every fixed-scope build includes 30 days of post-launch support. Not sure yet? Start with a paid two-to-four week pilot and judge the work before committing.
Proof you can click
Our portfolio is live, not hypothetical: the Government Digital Registry serving 344+ MDAs at gdr.ict.go.ug, the NGO Bureau platform tracking 15,000+ organisations, DDRA screening infants across 32+ hospitals in 12 countries, and commercial platforms processing real payments daily. Every project page on this site links to the running system.
What working with us looks like, week to week
After the written spec is agreed, you see working software every week, deployed to a staging environment you can click, not screenshots in a slide deck. Questions get answered the same day on WhatsApp or email. Scope changes are priced in writing before they happen, never discovered on an invoice. At handover you receive the repositories, credentials, infrastructure access and documentation - and if you would rather never think about servers again, our ongoing engineering retainer keeps the system monitored, patched and improving. Three of our longest-running clients started with a single small build and have stayed for years; that retention, more than any pitch, is what we would point to.
Case study
GDR - Government Digital Registry
The Ministry of ICT's registry of every government digital system, covering 344+ MDAs and 2,500+ systems on the official government domain. We built it and we still run it, under a multi-year contract with a scheduled review, which means ministry staff use it on a Tuesday afternoon and someone answers when it breaks.

- How much does software development cost in Uganda?
- A business system runs UGX 1.5M to 25M, depending on what it has to do. A programme platform for an NGO or donor-funded team runs UGX 25M to 90M. Government and national systems run UGX 150M to 1.5bn and are usually quoted per financial year. Where you land inside a band depends on scope, and you get the exact price in writing before work begins.
- Do you work with clients outside Uganda?
- Yes - we run systems in three countries and work remotely with international clients. East Africa Time overlaps European and US East Coast working hours, and we invoice in USD.
- Who owns the code?
- You do, from day one. Repositories and infrastructure are yours or handed over in full, with no lock-in.
- How fast can you start?
- Discovery can usually begin within a week of agreement. If your timeline is tight, say so in the first message - the plan we send back within four business hours includes a realistic start date, not a sales answer.
