His Excellency Sasayama Takuya, Ambassador of Japan to Uganda, conducted an official inspection of the Mechanical Engineering Training and Advisory Center (METRAC) located in Luweero District. METRAC is the first facility of its kind in Uganda, dedicated to the training of mechanical equipment operators. Its establishment marks a significant milestone in the country’s technical and vocational education sector. The construction of METRAC was made possible through the generous grant assistance provided by the Government of Japan, in collaboration with Japanese Embassy in Uganda and UNIDO.
This initiative reflects the continued commitment of Japan to support capacity building and skills development in Uganda.
