Kampala 13 April 2019   The Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) is an implementing partner for the SENTINEL project. The SENTINEL is an interdisciplinary research project seeking to address the challenge of achieving ‘zero hunger’ in sub-Saharan Africa, while at the same time reducing inequalities and conserving ecosystems with special focus on Ethiopia, Zambia and Ghana. Through this project, RUFORUM will provide 27 PhD research scholarships.

On many public buildings, use is made of concrete blocks. Previous research shows that the productivity of workers is a major cause of poor performance of building projects in Uganda. As such poor productivity of block laying could result in cost overruns, delays and claims. This study therefore investigated the productivity of block layers on building sites in Kampala. Data was collected from 160 block layers from 40 building sites in Kampala.
