The Network of African Countries on Local Building Materials and Technologies has the objective of strengthening local technological capacity through facilitating information flow, regional cooperation and the transfer of appropriate technologies in lowcost and innovative building-materials sector among African countries.
The Journal of the Network, currently published biannually, seeks to provide a channel for information that is available and could be of use by professionals, technicians, researchers and scientists, as well as policy and decision makers. It is a medium for information exchange and facilitator for acquisition of suitable technologies and know-how by needy countries.
Efforts are made to compile, process and publish articles and technical papers originating, mainly, in the African region. However, as deemed appropriate and subject to availability, research findings and technological information from countries outside the African region are also included to stimulate interregional cooperation as well.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE JOURNAL This Journal welcomes information or articles on lowcost innovations in building materials technology. Information in the form of technical and policy papers, illustrations, news items and announcements of events can be sent from individuals or institutions in the private or public sectors, from within and outside the African region. All correspondence on the Journal should be addressed to the Chief, Building and Infrastructure Technology Section, Research and Development Division, UNCHS (Habitat), P.O. Box 30030, Nairobi, Kenya.
