First, this study points out that the formal system of information provision (especially the local public library) has not been particularly successful among the fisher folk. 
Second, it provides insights into the nature of the information systems in Uganda. This study establishes
the information-seeking behavior of a section of the Ugandan society and finds that it is not catered to effectively; the study shows the need to develop a more inclusive information system for the country. 
There is therefore a need for a system that unites all information users in the country. Information provision for fisher folk needs to be modeled largely on those systems that they are well acquainted with and progress toward the more formal systems.
Significant government support is required and the authors suggest that such support be well structured and coordinated to benefit the fishing community. 
The value of this study lies in highlighting what should be done to improve Uganda’s information systems. 
Its utility will be realized when an information system for the fisher folk is established. 
Further research is required on information systems in other sections of the Ugandan society.
