5 Technology transfer, research and training
If key stakeholders in Uganda's road construction industry are to plan, design, construct and maintain the country's road network in an efficient and effective manner, it is vital that they have all the necessary knowledge and skills. To this end, it is important that institutional strengthening of Uganda's labour, technical and managerial human resources is put into place through technology transfer, bespoke training, research, and manuals or guidelines appropriate for use in Uganda.
This section includes a number of technical reports that have been developed by the Danish International Development Agency for specific use and application in Uganda, together with details of research and technology developed in sub-Saharan Africa but with possible application in Uganda. It also includes a complete set of training course material, prepared under the CrossRoads Programme for the Training of Contractors in Financial and Business Management.
