Dr. Peter Patrick Waiswa Wakabi

Dr. Wakabi-Waiswa is seasoned ICT professional and holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science, distinction Master’s degree in Computer Science, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Leadership Development in ICT & the Knowledge Society, a Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Science, and an Upper Second Bachelor’s degree in Statistics. He is also certified in a wide range of thematic areas including Monitoring and Evaluation, Virtualization, Network Administration, information Security Management System (ISMS) and Business Continuity, and Professional/Legal Issues in Information Technology.

He has over fifteen years of practical experience in the design, development, deployment and maintenance of large, complex and integrated Information & Communications (ICT) systems. This expertise has been attained through working with local, international, public and private sector organizations. He has competently worked on assignments of both national and international scope which exposure endows him with the relevant experience that meets the requisite management and ICT needs of most kinds of development programs. He possesses invaluable expertise in formulating and implementing ICT policies and strategic plans for the public, private sector, and donor agencies. Over the years, he has taken an active role and provided strategic leadership in all stages of systems development several multi-tier enterprise systems in the East African Region. These systems range from National Construction Databanks Systems, National Development Plans, Monitoring and Evaluation Systems, Land Titles Management Systems, remote electricity metering systems, to automatic verification of academic results.
