Youth in Uganda are considered to be young people between the ages of 18-30 years. This is according to the Uganda constitution 1995; The Youth are the most active and energetic group of our population. However, they contribute less to the national economy for various reasons including inadequacies in the education system, which hinders innovations and does not create sufficient exposure to career options and obligation to contribute to national sustainable development. The majority live in rural areas and in households that live below 1 US$ which is an indicator of poverty. The Ugandan government together with development partners have tried to initiate micro and macroeconomic policies to stimulate rural development. This has not yielded the expected results due to less emphasis on ICT for rural development. All these policies come with one overall goal, which is improved livelihood of rural community, however, the implementation and all processes involved have significantly excluded the youth hence the cause of slow economic growth in our country. In addition, many duty bearers who are responsible for policy implementation under rate the stakes of ICTs in realizing the national poverty eradication agenda. And by doing so, they equally underrate the potential of the youth to advance this agenda. This leaves the youth vulnerable and unsustainable. ICT initiatives have promoted development in areas where they have been tried. NAYODE as a case study. National Youth organization for Development is a youth NGO that has expanded ICT technology to rural areas in Kasese District western part of the country and this is the organization I work with. NAYODE ICT vision is: equity, justice, youth empowerment and rural development. Improving the livelihood of the youth and encouraging rural development in Uganda requires the ICTs strategies and innovations. Information is key to development, power and civilization. This civilization is incomplete without genuine participation of the youth and information/communication technology accessibility. The youth need information on agriculture, marketing, finance opportunities, human rights and their surroundings, planning and learning from successful stories. This is possible with ICT. With improved rural youth accessibility to computers, Internet, satellite and electricity. It is possible to network the rural communities with the rest of the world. In today's world of science and technology, with Internet tools, it is easy to execute business at any point on the globe. All the information that the youth lack and which has forced them to leave rural areas for urban life can be accessed easily with simple technology. With the technology one can be able to get as well share a lot of practical information while also increasing outreach for development work. The expansion of mobile telecommunications systems to rural areas in Uganda, gives an opportunity to connect a computer to Internet using a mobile phone and solar power system. As a coordinator of National Youth Organization for Development (NAYOBE) I initiated projects that focus on the youth and are rural based. A case in point is, the NAYODE youth world space digital satellite radio, which was donated to the group by Arid Lands Information Network-East Africa (ALIN-EA). This "Miracle Radio" is connected to the computer using a pc adaptor 128k cable and a software is built in the computer, which facilitates the process of downloading the information via the satellite. With this radio alone, the group has been able to put in place one community electronic library (E-Library). This is where the youth opened up a center and contributed funds and bought 4 computers, which are used to sto
