dc.description.abstract26 persons from Kenya and Uganda were trained for bamboo cultivation and management by the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR). The project has initiated a dialogue among African countries and informed the public on sustainable use of local materials for housing. Such demonstrations and capacity-building activities will eventually motivate the public and respective governments to adopt national policy on sustainable management and utilization of local bamboo resources. The model buildings have received a lot of public attention, as people could hardly believe what one can do with bamboo, which has mostly been neglected in those countries.en
