Abstract
The research sought after investigating the practices in insurance underwriting and management
in Uganda, to establish how information technology can be used to enhance information
awareness and delivery to people. Using qualitative research methods, the study revealed that an
integrated information sharing platform could provide great improvements to the manual and
paper based processes used in insurance underwriting and awareness in the country.
The research made an all-embracing review of literature in the field of insurance so as to
establish trends and determine the need for information awareness and delivery based on
information technology. The literature review further looked at issues regarding key terms,

opportunities for E-insurance, management of insurance both at local and international levels,
laws governing insurance business.
