We engaged Ugandans @892cbsFm with Martin Oscar Kintu in discussion about building control matters, highlighting the importance of compliance with building standards, obtaining the necessary approvals and engaging qualified professionals in construction.
Building control is essential to ensuring safe, decent and well-planned buildings that protect lives and property.

The Board warns people practicing Architecture without valid permits that they will face the full force of the law.

After long journeys and a full day assessing buildings for earthquake resilience, our enumerators deserve a moment to unwind and enjoy a sumptuous meal. Enjoying the fruits of our labour is a gift from God. Tomorrow, the mission to promote safer, earthquake resilient buildings across Uganda continues. #EarthquakeResilience
Our public awareness campaign on the assessment of buildings for earthquake resilience has reached Greater Masaka through @radiobuddu98.
Together with local leaders, we engaged the public on the ongoing nationwide exercise, which responds to a Presidential Directive to Government to assess the resilience of buildings and strengthen safety across the country.
We call upon the public to cooperate with enumerators and grant them access to their buildings.
#EarthquakeResilience #SafeBuildings
Have you seen our enumerators in your neighbourhood today? If yes, they are assessing buildings for earthquake resilience. If not, they are on their way!
Your role is simple: **grant them access to your building, answer their questions and provide the required documents.**
The assessment is nationwide and aims to establish the resilience of our buildings to earthquakes and promote a safer built environment.
**Your cooperation matters. Building safety is everyoneโs responsibility.**
#EarthquakeResilience #SafeBuildings #SERENEProject
We engaged the people of Western Uganda through @radiowestug to raise awareness about the ongoing nationwide assessment of buildings for earthquake resilience. We called upon the public to support the exercise by granting enumerators access to their buildings, as we work together to promote compliance, assess building safety and create a safer built environment for all.
#EarthquakeResilience #SafeBuildings #SERENEProject
No matter the weather, means of transport or distance, our enumerators are determined to reach every corner of Uganda, from Acholi, Lango, Teso, Karamoja, West Nile, Bunyoro, Busoga, Bugisu, Bukedi, Buganda, Ankole, Kigezi, Tooro, and Rwenzori to the rest of the country.
From schools and churches to markets and mosques, the mission remains the same: to assess the earthquake resilience of our buildings, establish their safety status and contribute to a safer built environment for all.
