GeraSkills in Uganda 2026 — Publish Robot and AI Skills, Paid in UGX
Published April 21, 2026 · 7 min read
Quick answer: GeraSkills is a marketplace where Ugandan developers and makers publish skills for robots, AI agents, and smart-home devices, earning UGX royalties from every install. Payouts via MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money. Skill categories align to Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT) vocational taxonomy where applicable.
Why Ugandan developers should publish
Ugandan developers and makers — many trained at Makerere, Kyambogo, Refactory, Outbox, or self-taught — produce strong skill packages. GeraSkills connects that supply to global and EAC demand, with UGX-native earnings and MoMo withdrawal. Fundi Bots and other youth STEM programmes are natural contributors.
Regulatory backdrop
Publishing is a commercial activity; sellers register with URSB and hold a URA TIN. Payouts flow through Bank of Uganda-licensed PSPs. Data handling under DPA 2019. DIT alignment for vocational skill packages. Copyright/trademark via URSB.
