U.S.-based CTI Africa, a company focused on providing rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa with holistic solutions to their economic and social challenges, plans to invest $10 million in Uganda to build a plant to assemble smart mobile phones and manufacture phone components.
CTI Africa said that it plans to build the plant in the capital Kampala and to eventually manufacture elsewhere in the country.
The smartphone handsets that CTI Africa operate on Android and users can download standard apps from the system's Play Store.
The company expects to be able to start delivering the phones in the early first quarter of 2019.
