Hello Richard. I would contact small web design companies and offer your services. Also post in web developer forums and offer your services to other web dev. firms.

I would place an ad in the papers or post in forums like YE and ask if someone is interested in partnering with me.

richard, here's some feedback

I've worked around IT for a while

It's a complicated service business

Selling IT services is not like selling pez dispensers

It's a long sales cycle that requires much interpersonal hand holding

What works are direct marketing campaigns and face to face pitches

I really encourage you to try doing some direct marketing to prospects in Kampala

I really don't have a clue why you're being recommended advertising on websites or internet forums
