A core part of our mission is creating a lasting legacy of resilience by empowering local experts. In Herat, Miyamoto’s seismic specialists delivered intensive training for local Afghan engineers from UNOPS, UNDP, and other agencies. The program focused on integrating modern earthquake-resistant design with culturally relevant, low-carbon vernacular building methods. This knowledge transfer is critical for ensuring the long-term safety and durability of housing in the region, building local capacity to carry the mission forward.
