Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia<\/strong><\/p>\n

The United Nations Office of Project Services (UNOPS) and SHS 100,000 affordable housing project is expected to be launched tomorrow, August 28, 2019, at Amasaman District One Site.<\/p>\n

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is to officially commission the project.<\/p>\n

The project is worth about $5 billion.<\/p>\n

UNOPS recently rolled out a $15 billion project to construct affordable houses in some countries in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

Ghana and Kenya are the beneficiary countries from Africa while India will also benefit from the project in Asia.<\/p>\n

Ghana, with an estimated housing deficit of over two million, which is projected to increase to 2.2 million in a few years, will receive $5 billion to construct about 100,000 affordable houses.<\/p>\n

UNOPS is working in partnership with Sustainable Housing Solutions (SHS) to roll out the project which comes under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN).<\/p>\n

The partnership would see UNOPS and SHS delivering 260,000 plus high-quality affordable homes across the selected countries.<\/p>\n

Job Opportunities<\/p>\n

UNOPS said recently that \u201cthe project will provide thousands of job opportunities for local communities, and the opportunities include projects in construction and renewable energy sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghana\u2019s agreement was signed in September 2018 in New York, US, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly which was witnessed by President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

The new partnership will also explore new opportunities in the renewable market, with UNOPS expected to work with MYRA-SHS Energy, a subsidiary of SHS, which focuses on investments in renewable energy projects and associated infrastructure.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest step in the UNOPS Social Impact Investing Initiative (S3I), which aims to attract financing from the private sector to develop projects in emerging markets.<\/p>\n

The technology is earthquake and hurricane resistant and constituent with the utilization of renewable energy and non-toxic insect-repellent properties.<\/p>\n

The concept aims at providing a \u2018turn-key solution\u2019 to reduce the current shortfall of tens of millions of decent dwellings.<\/p>\n
