Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, Ghana’s Minister-Designate for Works, Housing, and Water Resources, has pledged to work closely with the private sector and international organisations to address the country’s housing challenges.

During his vetting before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on January 28, Mr. Adjei emphasised the importance of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in securing funding and expertise to revitalise the housing sector.

“I will leverage public-private partnerships to attract investments and expertise,” he said, stressing the need for a collaborative approach to ensure sustainable development. “I would also partner with key actors and international organisations to support the housing sector.”

Mr. Adjei highlighted the significance of a district housing policy, which he said would bring affordable housing solutions to rural and underserved areas.

“The district housing policy is crucial as it addresses the need for affordable homes, especially for people in rural districts,” he explained. “Many want to retire in their villages, but the challenge is where they will live. This policy could make a significant difference.”

The minister-designate reiterated his commitment to tackling Ghana’s housing deficit, ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their location, have access to affordable and sustainable housing.
