description:

The combination of limited class room training with extensive on-the-job training for supervisors, engineers and contractors regarding the planning and implementation of construction works using labour-based approaches proves to be very effective. In low capacity environments like Timor-Leste is should be acknowledged that considerable time and effort is required to train the contractors, engineers and supervisor on the effective application of labour-based methods. This should be factored into the designed (and initially low) rate of physical progress that a project will be able to achieve. During the initial one to two year much attention needs to be given to training and capacity building activities. When 'absorption' capacities in low capacity environments have been over-estimated, this may negatively affect the quality of the works because of pressure on a timely completion of the works.
