Minister for Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has launched the District Housing Programme to address Ghana’s rural housing deficit.

Unveiled at the 2024 Busia Institute Lectures at Takoradi Technical University, the initiative aims to provide affordable housing for public sector workers such as nurses, teachers, and police officers.

The programme will use Compressed Earth Building Technology to reduce costs and promote eco-friendly construction.

Nkrumah emphasized the need for innovative solutions, detailed data, and effective institutional frameworks to tackle Ghana's 1.8 million housing deficit, with pilot projects set to begin soon.
