Funding transparency
Scholanet distinguishes clearly between funding that is pledged, committed, received and spent or allocated. These figures must be connected to the authorised Scholanet funding ledger — no invented fundraising figures are published.

SPENT / ALLOCATEDFunding envelope & national-scale planning
Scholanet's UGX 1,000,000,000 initial mobilisation target is the first tranche toward platform development, early deployment, onboarding and programme preparation. The indicative five-year national-scale investment envelope is UGX 250–350 billion, with UGX 300 billion as the central planning scenario. This is a provisional planning envelope subject to detailed costing, procurement, partnerships and deployment sequencing — not a committed or received amount.
UGX 15–25B
Production platform, security, integrations, content and deployment preparation.
UGX 100–180B
Large-scale onboarding, regional operations, connectivity and digital inclusion.
UGX 250–350B
Full national-scale programme across technology, people, content, access, operations and impact.
Pledged, committed, received and spent are not the same figure.
These amounts must be kept visibly separate on any public dashboard. Scholarship and beneficiary funds must also be kept separate from technology and commercial transactions. Live raised/received figures must be connected to the authorised funding ledger before publication.
Scholanet Foundation — future initiative
A planned future initiative is intended to provide a dedicated framework for mobilising and directing support toward scholarships, vulnerable learners, dropout prevention, girls' education and other approved education-support programmes. This is a future initiative and is not presented as an established legal entity until formally registered and operational.
