UMSC Leadership Commends UMSC360 as Council Accelerates Digital Transformation

29th-30th July, 2026 at UMSC Headquarters, Kampala, Uganda – The Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) has taken a significant step towards institutional digital transformation following the successful presentation and live demonstration of UMSC360, the Council's integrated digital ecosystem, before the Council's national and regional leadership.

The session was introduced by Hon. Haji Abbas Sekyanzi Muluubya, Secretary General of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council, who tabled UMSC360 as an official agenda item during the leadership meeting. He noted that digital transformation is a strategic priority for strengthening the Council's administration, coordination and service delivery across all levels of UMSC.

The presentation was delivered by Eng. Fahad Ssozi, Chief Executive Officer of Muslim Channel Uganda, who serves as the Lead Developer and Digital Solutions Architect behind the UMSC360 platform. Through Muslim Channel, the Council's digital technology partner, Eng. Ssozi has been responsible for designing, leading and overseeing the development of UMSC360 as the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council's integrated digital ecosystem.

Addressing the gathering, Eng. Ssozi explained that UMSC360 is more than a software application. It is an institutional transformation programme designed to digitally connect the National Headquarters, Regional Offices, Districts, Counties, Masajid, Imams and Muslims across Uganda through one secure and integrated platform. He emphasized that the system is intended to strengthen governance, improve accountability, enhance transparency and modernize service delivery throughout the Council.

The presentation demonstrated the platform's integrated services, including digital Marriage Registration and Certificate Verification, Masjid and Imam Registration, Digital Contributions, Zakat and Sadaqah Management, Women's SACCO Management, real-time reporting dashboards and institutional performance monitoring. UMSC360 is accessible through the web portal, smartphone application, USSD (*284*21#) and customer support services, ensuring that every Muslim can access Council services regardless of the type of mobile phone they use.

As part of the presentation, His Eminence Dr. Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje, the Mufti of Uganda, personally participated in a live demonstration of the system together with the leadership delegation. During the demonstration, members carried out sample transactions through the platform's digital contribution services. As each transaction was completed, the system instantly generated real-time notifications, which were successfully received by the Mufti on his phone, demonstrating UMSC360's live transaction monitoring and notification capabilities. The demonstration further illustrated the platform's transparency, accountability and real-time reporting features, where authorized leaders receive immediate alerts whenever transactions are made under their respective jurisdictions, consistent with the platform's contribution workflow.

The platform also showcased its structured digital marriage registration process, where applications move through the Imam, County Sheikh and District Kadhi before the UMSC Shariah Department generates a digitally verifiable marriage certificate. It equally demonstrated secure Women's SACCO management, enabling authorized executives to manage members, monitor applications, process repayments and receive real-time reports through OTP-secured access.

The initiative received strong commendation from the Council's top leadership, led by His Eminence Dr. Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje, the Mufti of Uganda.

The Mufti welcomed UMSC360 as an important milestone in the modernization of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council and appreciated its potential to strengthen institutional coordination, transparency and service delivery across the country.

HE. Dr. Ali Waiswa, First Deputy Mufti, commended the platform for providing leadership with timely and reliable information, noting that digital reporting would support better administration and decision-making across UMSC structures.

HE. Hafiz Muhammad Haruna Bukenya, Second Deputy Mufti, appreciated the platform's integrated workflows and accountability features, observing that the system would simplify coordination between Headquarters, Regions, Districts, Counties and Masajid while improving efficiency in delivering Council services.

Amir Muhammad Yunus Kamoga praised the initiative as a forward-looking investment in the future of the institution, emphasizing that embracing technology would strengthen communication, improve coordination and bring UMSC services closer to the Muslim community.

Hajjat Sophia Safina Kenyange, Chairperson of the National Muslim Women Council, welcomed the inclusion of the MySACCO module, describing it as a major boost to the management and monitoring of the Presidential Women Revolving Fund and an important step towards empowering Muslim women through secure, transparent and accessible digital financial services.

Regional Assistants to the Mufti (RAMs), District Kadhis, Regional Secretaries and other senior leaders also welcomed the platform, describing it as a timely initiative that will modernize the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council and digitally connect the institution from the National Headquarters to every Region, District, County, Masjid and Muslim across the country.

Concluding the presentation, Eng. Fahad Ssozi called upon all Regional Assistants to the Mufti, District Kadhis, County Sheikhs and Imams to lead the implementation of UMSC360 by ensuring their jurisdictions are fully onboarded, institutional records are updated and Muslims are encouraged to embrace the platform. He stressed that the success of UMSC360 depends not only on technology but on the commitment of leadership at every level of the Council to drive digital transformation throughout the institution.

The presentation marks another significant milestone in the strategic partnership between the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council and Muslim Channel Uganda, positioning UMSC360 as the Council's integrated digital ecosystem for governance, administration and service delivery. The platform is expected to play a central role in building a more transparent, accountable and digitally connected Uganda Muslim Supreme Council for generations to come.
