Event Overview:
A comprehensive two-day training and accreditation event for artisans, commonly known as “fundis,” is underway at Nokras Hotel, Embu. Organized by the National Construction Authority (NCA) in collaboration with the Manyatta Constituency National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) and other National Government initiatives, this training aims to enhance the skills and compliance of artisans in the local construction industry.

Objective:
The initiative focuses on equipping artisans with critical knowledge of industry regulations, ensuring higher standards in construction practices, and fostering safer work environments. By the end of the program, artisans will receive official accreditation certificates, signaling their compliance with the standards set by the NCA.

Training Components:

1. Legal and Regulatory Framework:
   Participants are introduced to the legal underpinnings and regulatory guidelines that govern the construction sector. This session covers key policies, industry standards, and the rights and responsibilities of construction professionals to promote compliance and professional conduct.
2. NCA Compliance Requirements:
   Artisans receive in-depth guidance on meeting the standards set by the NCA, including registration processes, project approvals, and the importance of quality assurance. This module emphasizes the role of compliance in enhancing job opportunities and credibility for certified fundis.
3. Site Safety Training:
   A critical component of the training is on-site safety. Artisans are instructed on identifying potential hazards, using safety equipment, and implementing safe practices to prevent accidents. This ensures a safer working environment, benefiting both workers and clients.
4. Accreditation and Certification:
   Upon successful completion, artisans are awarded accreditation certificates from the NCA. This certification not only validates their skills and knowledge but also boosts their employability by recognizing them as qualified professionals in the construction field.

Why This Matters:
This training event signifies a proactive approach by the National Government and Manyatta NG-CDF to uplift local artisans, addressing skills gaps, and fostering compliance with national construction standards. Certified artisans bring value to their communities, and the initiative is a key step towards building a safer, more standardized construction sector in Embu and beyond.
