The @UNDP-implemented ACP-EU @DevelopmentMin initiative is training participants from Uganda, Zambia, and Tanzania in low-carbon construction techniques. ⚒️🦺 In Uganda, four trainees have been equipped with material mixing methods and construction products that reduce carbon emissions and construction costs. They are now stepping up to train fellow Ugandans nationwide in these technologies to scale the impact! 🛠️🌱
