“The fellowship showed me how technology can empower communities and improve financial inclusion.”

For Nangi Peter, a Customer Onboarding Fellow at Wakandi Group, the FITSPA Youth NextGen Fellowship was a transformative experience that connected his academic knowledge with the realities of working in Uganda’s fintech sector.

During the fellowship, Peter gained practical experience in data migration, data validation and maintaining data integrity, helping to transition manual SACCO records into secure digital systems. He also gained valuable exposure to regulatory compliance, customer onboarding and digital financial inclusion.

But one of the most meaningful parts of his journey was working directly with SACCOs in the field. Seeing clients move from paper-based record keeping to digital platforms, and witnessing how this improved their daily operations, gave him a deeper understanding of the real impact of technology.

Beyond the technical skills, Peter developed stronger communication, teamwork, accountability, adaptability and customer engagement skills, including learning how to support users with different levels of digital literacy.

His experience reflects what the FITSPA Youth NextGen Fellowship was designed to achieve: bridging the gap between education and employment by giving young people practical industry experience, mentorship and exposure to real-world challenges.

We appreciate Wakandi Group for providing Peter with an opportunity to learn, contribute and experience first-hand how technology can drive financial inclusion.

At FITSPA, we remain committed to creating pathways for young people to develop practical skills, gain industry experience and build meaningful careers in Uganda’s growing technology and fintech ecosystem.

Peter’s story reminds us that when young people are given the opportunity to learn by doing, they do not just build careers, they contribute to building solutions that can transform communities.

The training concluded with an interactive peer-to-peer learning session on best practices across the digital credit lifecycle, from customer acquisition and loan origination to underwriting, disbursement, servicing, collections and complaints handling.

Participants formed four groups, with each group examining a hypothetical case covering marketing and loan origination, product design and underwriting. The cases explored practical digital credit scenarios, including disclosure and consumer protection requirements, and potential violations of key legal and regulatory obligations.

Each group discussed its case, identified the compliance and consumer protection issues involved, and prepared a presentation to share its findings with the wider room. MRD, PDPO and FITSPA guided the discussions, helping participants connect regulatory requirements with practical day-to-day operations.

For institutions already offering digital lending, the session provided an opportunity to reflect on and strengthen existing practices. For those looking to enter digital lending, it offered practical insights into the operational, compliance and responsible lending considerations needed when developing digital credit products and services.

We appreciate MRD–MoFPED and PDPO for providing guidance and embracing this practical learning platform that promotes collaboration, knowledge sharing and a more responsible and compliant digital credit ecosystem in Uganda.

The training featured a session on Data Protection and Security in Digital Lending, with presentations from Jordan Magala and Kalema Christopher of the Personal Data Protection Office (PDPO), focusing on data protection, compliance and security in digital lending operations.

Jordan Magala took participants through personal data protection requirements and expounded on the Data Protection and Privacy Act and its application to digital lending. The session highlighted the rights of individuals whose data is collected and the obligations of data collectors, processors and controllers.

Digital lenders were encouraged to register with the PDPO, establish privacy governance structures, develop data protection policies, train staff, submit compliance reports, conduct internal privacy audits and maintain effective complaints-handling mechanisms.

The session further highlighted individual rights, including the right to access personal data; request rectification, blocking, erasure or destruction of data; prevent the use of personal data for direct marketing; rights relating to automated decision-making; the right to be informed; and the right to lodge complaints over breaches and non-compliance.

Jordan also emphasised that violations can expose organisations to significant risks, including reputational damage and fines of up to 2% of a corporation’s annual gross turnover.

Kalema Christopher focused on data security, emphasising the need for robust technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal data from cyberattacks and other threats.

He highlighted how application permissions can give digital lending apps access to significant amounts of information on an individual’s device, raising important questions around how much data is collected, why it is collected and how it is subsequently used.

He also highlighted the growing use of predictive profiling and machine learning, where applications can analyse available data to derive insights about customers. This reinforced the need for lenders to apply appropriate safeguards and ensure that personal data is processed responsibly and transparently.

He further noted that data breaches can result from cyberattacks, human error, malicious insider activity and abuse of privileges, making strong internal controls, staff awareness and incident reporting critical components of data protection.

The presentations reinforced a critical message for digital lenders: protecting customer data requires more than compliance on paper. It requires strong governance, responsible data practices, robust security controls and continuous investment in people and systems.

Presenting on Compliance and Reporting Practices for Digital Lenders, MRD’s Assistant Commissioner Racheal Vanessa Muhwezi took participants through Uganda’s digital lending growth, regulatory framework and the sector’s potential to advance financial inclusion.

The presentation focused on responsible digital lending principles, consumer protection and fair treatment, transparency and disclosure, credit risk management, AML/CFT, cybersecurity and technical integrity, complaints and dispute resolution, as well as compliance and reporting obligations. It also highlighted the importance of financial literacy and borrower education, while looking at the future regulatory direction for Uganda’s digital lending sector.

She challenged digital lenders to understand their customers before extending credit. Rather than simply pushing out a loan, lenders should assess whether a borrower already has existing loans and whether additional credit could contribute to over-indebtedness.

The session also emphasised customer education. As technology evolves, lenders were encouraged to help customers understand digital platforms and emerging technologies, including AI, while ensuring their own staff continuously build new knowledge and skills.

Drawing from practical cases and benchmarking experiences from Kenya, she highlighted the importance of fair recovery practices, accessible complaint channels, time-bound dispute resolution, accurate reporting and strong data integrity.

She also encouraged lenders to embrace compliance as a partnership with the regulator, invest in competent teams and strengthen public awareness and financial literacy.

A key takeaway from the presentation was that responsible digital lending is not simply about providing quick access to credit. It is about understanding borrowers, protecting consumers, preventing over-indebtedness and using technology to improve financial well-being.

She called on government, regulators and industry stakeholders to uphold high standards that foster ethical innovation, financial integrity and long-term stability across the digital ecosystem. Building consumer trust, she noted, requires aligning operational strategies with international best practices and regional regulatory frameworks.

Concluding, Vanessa emphasised that digital lenders have an important role to play in advancing Uganda’s National Financial Inclusion Strategy by deepening access to financial services. She also underscored the importance of self-regulation and adherence to the Industry Code of Conduct for Responsible Digital Lending, alongside transparency in pricing and strong regulatory compliance.

We are underway at Sheraton Kampala Hotel, as FITSPA and United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), in partnership with Microfinance Regulation Department (MRD-MoFPED) and Personal Data Protection Office, Uganda (PDPO), bring together digital lending professionals for a practical training focused on responsible lending, regulatory compliance, consumer protection, and data protection.

The training aims to strengthen lenders’ internal capacity to embed the standards set out in the Industry Code of Conduct for Responsible Digital Lending, meet MRD–MoFPED compliance and reporting requirements, and strengthen adherence to data protection requirements.

The training seeks to:
⭐️ Build capacity to embed responsible lending practices across the lending lifecycle.
⭐️ Strengthen compliance with regulatory, reporting, and data protection requirements.
⭐️ Promote internal accountability for market conduct and consumer protection.
⭐️ Improve customer experience and fair treatment of borrowers.

Through practical learning and peer exchange, the training is supporting digital lenders to build more responsible, compliant, and consumer-centred digital credit operations in Uganda.

The training is part of wider efforts under the 10X Programme, which is supporting young women to build digital skills, access economic opportunities, and participate more meaningfully in the digital economy. The programme is implemented by Outbox Uganda, in partnership with United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), Refactory Academy, and Women In Technology Uganda (WITU), with support from the Mastercard Foundation.

“Working alongside experienced professionals helped me build confidence, improve my problem-solving skills, and understand the value of continuous learning.”

For Naula Lorna, a Customer Onboarding Fellow at Wakandi Group, the FITSPA Youth NextGen Fellowship provided an opportunity to move beyond academic learning and gain practical experience in a professional environment.

During her fellowship, Naula gained hands-on experience in customer onboarding and developed a deeper understanding of how technology companies support their clients and deliver positive customer experiences.

But her learning went beyond the technical aspects of the role. She strengthened her communication, teamwork, time management, accountability and problem-solving skills, while learning how to work effectively with colleagues and adapt to professional workplace expectations.

One of the most valuable parts of her experience was contributing to real work while receiving guidance and constructive feedback from experienced professionals. This helped build her confidence and reinforced her interest in pursuing a career in technology.

Her experience reflects the purpose of the FITSPA Youth NextGen Fellowship: to bridge the gap between academic learning and the world of work by giving young people practical experience, mentorship and exposure to Uganda’s growing technology and fintech ecosystem.

We appreciate Wakandi Group for providing Naula with a platform to learn, contribute and grow, and for investing in the development of young talent.
