NIM: UGANDA's own INTERNET STORE---proposal for the Uganda National Software Product Market Service; National Internet Marketplace, by 2026

This paper proposes NIM---the National Internet Marketplace; a robust, currently non-existent Uganda's national platform-agnostic software product publication and distribution service for the first time. NIM shall eliminate unnecessary financial and technical barriers for local and regional innovators & entities interested in publishing mobile, desktop and web applications as well as various types of domain-specific software products and/or digital artifacts targeting the local/national, regional and/or global markets via a trusted and well supported official Software Product Marketplace---essentially an APP STORE, but also a meta-store, for the Sovereign Nation-state of Uganda by the end of 2025, with further iterations and evolution of this Internet-software service platform continuing post-2025 with regional, and later global roll-out of the service in 2026 and beyond.
