Empowering sustainable construction practices in Malawi: insights and drivers for infrastructure development
This study, titled 'Sustainable Construction Practices in Building Infrastructure Projects: The Extent of Implementation and Drivers in Malawi', examines the implementation of sustainable construction practices (SCPs) in infrastructure projects in Malawi, a low-income country.
It identifies 22 SCPs and 13 drivers through a literature review, followed by a survey of 193 construction professionals.
The results highlight the widespread use of economic practices such as efficient resource allocation and a coordinated supply chain, with a focus on economic sustainability. Key drivers for adopting SCPs include global trends, social and health benefits, market demand, and access to green technologies.
The study offers insights to policymakers for improving sustainability in Malawi's infrastructure projects.
