For the past few year MACI have been highly active in executing the major barriers confronting the development of the industry. The areas which require immediate attention is the inefficient amount of labors in the industry. On the other hand different types of construction projects have been ongoing which require a huge amount of skilled labor for the industry. To overcome the problem as a necessary measure MACI had arrange with the government to provide quarter for expatriate labors to work in the industry for all the construction companies. Several Training programs have been conducted to produce enough labor for the industry. When the required amount of labor is generated expatriate labors would be minimized for an independent industry.
