RECOMMENDATIONS FOR KENYA
• Characterise Mechanical & Physical Properties of Local Bamboo
• Develop Guidelines and Standards for the Material’s Use
• Learn from Others – e.g. Ethiopia, China, Timber Industry
• Integrate Into relevant construction and educational programmes
• Demonstration & piloting as an entry point to build capacity
• Link to Resource Development and Broader National Policy
- Demand supply
- Species introduction
- industrial development
