Summary of blueprint on mass housing development initiative in Namibia

The document summarises the housing development initiative in Namibia to provide mass housing. It provides the context of Namibia’s housing as well as outlining the national housing context. The mass delivery housing programme is envisaged to deliver about 185 000 houses in the next 18 years, as such new jobs are expected to be created from this initiative. Based on the formulae employed by the National Housing Enterprise a construction of a new house approximately creates 2.5 jobs. Therefore, the construction on average of 10 278 houses on a yearly basis will result in the creation of about 25 695 jobs.

The blueprint document also provides an implementation strategy.
