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.
