Government UG spending on infrastructure and housing in the region has also spurred demand for cement. KE Kenya The market grew ahead of GDP following recovery in the infrastructure segment as a result RW of good public investment, the trickle-down effects of infrastructure expansion on Individual Home Builders (IHB) segment activity, an increase in diaspora remittances and a stable BU macro-economic environment further stimulating demand. Uganda TZ The market grew ahead of the GDP growth rate supported by recovery in the infrastructure segment as a result of good public investment as well as rising credit growth driven by robust private consumption and improvement in IHB activity. Capacities continued to grow at rates above the growth in demand, putting pressure on prices Continued focus on vertical integration activities, enhanced route to market, channel partner programmes, brand building and innovation to grow revenues The Kenya and Uganda markets remain in a clinker manufacturing deficit and cement surplus in the short run, however the group’s markets extend to larger Eastern and Inland Africa markets which are in a cement-deficit position Progressive excellence in cost optimisation with a key focus on energy costs, which are a key component of our cost of production Outlook Risks Opportunities • Geopolitical tensions • Current stability of the geopolitical climate • Security concerns • Stable macro-economic indicators • Currency and commodities risks • Greater East African Community integration • Favourable weather and fuel prices BAMBURI CEMENT LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2014 11 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Committed to the development of the region I take great pleasure as the Chairman of Bamburi Cement Limited in presenting another year of great success.

  • Mining in Protected Areas Wisdom Or
    April 2008 December 2008 28th Edition Mining in Protected Areas Wisdom or ..........? Growing tension between conservation and economic objectives remain a challenge to many countries! Development benefits flowing from protected areas and the need to reflect them in the plans and budgets of forestry, agriculture, energy, tourism, mining, fisheries and other economic sectors need environmental focus. Fundamentally, governments give overriding emphasis to economic growth as a goal in itself, and the critical dimensions of development relating to quality of life of the citizens tend to be sidelined. Some important attributes of protected areas which bring contentment, happiness, education, enjoyment and health to communities and wildlife fall outside an economic growth perspective.

The aim is to assist developing countries with significant geothermal potential to build up groups of specialists that cover most aspects of geothermal exploration and development. During 1979-2004, 318 scientists and engineers from 39 countries have completed the six month courses. They have come from Asia (44%), Africa (26%), Central America (14%), and Central and Eastern Europe (16%). There is a steady flow of requests from all over the world for the six month training and we can only meet a portion of the requests. Most of the trainees are awarded UNU Fellowships financed by the UNU and the Government of Iceland. Candidates for the six month specialized training must have at least a BSc degree and a minimum of one year practical experience in geothermal work in their home countries prior to the training.
