Welcome to DIY Do It Yourself Uganda

What is DIY Do It Yourself Uganda?

 DIY-Do It Yourself® Uganda (DIY Uganda) is a project that has since 2019 conducted the innovative DIY-Do It Yourself® Skills Training Programme (DIY) under the Eastern and Southern Africa Capacity Building Centre (ESACBC) Uganda. The DIY Do It Yourself Skills Training Programme is a non-formal innovative 90% hands-on technical skills training programme for all interested people, irrespective of their education, financial, social, age, gender, or ability status. 10% of the training is through observation and demonstration videos and less emphasis is put on prior education certificates but rather on willingness of a person to do hands-on work.
