Case Study: Uganda PRDP
of the population towards peace and development rather
than war.
As a part of this strategy, Hydraform offered an
innovative opportunity to address many of the points in the
president’s plan. Machines could be brought in to develop
much needed infrastructure in the way of:
• Houses that were secure and solid. Hydraform blocks
have been ballistic tested and can withstand bullet
shots, thereby improving security concerns.
• Schools could be built for education.
• Clinics and hospitals could be built for addressing the
HIV/Aids concerns in the region and introducing health
and immunisation facilities.
• Training centres for the development of skills and
training.
The Hydraform machines would also create the
opportunity to empower the people of the region. Local
community members were trained to use the machines,
produce blocks and build. The community acquired the
skills required which led to employment opportunities and
the development of much-needed skills. There was no
need for arms, but there was a need for building.
