South-south technology transfer focues on Mozambique
At the beginning of June Orlando Espinosa of CECAT travelled to
Mozambique to prepare a series of courses about EcoMaterials production
from MicroConcrete Roofing tiles to concrete blocks to stablized earth
blocks. The first task was to translate information into Portuguese,
together with technicians from the Ministry of Construction. At the
beginning of July classes began at a technical school in the north of
the country, the course inaugurated by the governor of the province.
Interest is great and it appears that the program might extend its
reach with more equipment, as well as fabrication of alternative cement
(CP40).
