Office of the Prime Minister

The construction of the chiefs’ houses was a historic event which demonstrated Government’s commitment to the recovery and development of Northern Uganda and is a true testimony to the resolve of the President to instil confidence in the traditional leaders of the North.

The construction of houses for the Acholi chiefs acted as a confidence building strategy for the Internally Displaced Persons to return to their ancestral homes.

The construction of the chiefs’ houses used the hydraform technology. The hydraform technology was preferred to conventional methods because it was projected to take a far less time for the constructions, was easy to adapt to community needs and is environmentally friendly since it would not require cutting trees for the burning of bricks.

During the construction, the Office of the Prime Minister trained about 300 youths and about 200 Police officers in Northern Uganda the use of the hydraform technology. Read more
