(Business in Cameroon) - In the construction projects of the Public Training Centres, the Cameroonian Ministry in charge of Employment and Vocational Training will now prioritise the use of local materials, including stabilised clay bricks manufactured by the Mission for the Promotion of Local Materials (Mipromalo). This is what the partnership convention signed by these two public institutions stipulates.

This decision is in direct line with the government circular made public on 1st March 2007, prescribing the use of local materials in the construction of public buildings. A prescription which has however not yet led to a real boom in the number of public edifices built with bricks made by Mipromalo.

The partnership between Mipromalo and the Ministry of Employment for the promotion of local materials also includes other components such as the development of vocational training standards in terms of production and use of local materials, outfitting the public training centres with tools for the production of local materials; capacity-building for the trainers by Mipromalo who will also make available its laboratories for practical workshops, etc.
