Today concrete is not yet well established in Africa, which offers the unique opportunity to build up a cement and concrete market based on the highest available state of technology. As this industry needs high level expertise, a central issue in implementation of skilled technology is crosslinking research institutions and laboratories. It should not be neglected that concrete is a product with low transport ranges. This means that an improved concrete market mainly supports the local economy without exceeding financial drains to the international market. Thus it fosters the fight against poverty, which is an urgent need in most African countries. The project aims to cross-link experts with industry and policy making bodies, aiming to establish sustainable cement and concrete construction in Africa.

It underscores the importance of policy frameworks for transitioning from prescriptive to performance-based standards to foster innovation and support low-carbon technologies, while also addressing the economic, political, and social drivers that shape policy and industry practices. The research questions the replication of Global North standards in the Global South, advocating for locally adapted, unique regional policies. T2 - 11. Jahrestagung des DAfStb mit 63.
