“Large scale housing delivered by Private-Public-Partnerships (PPPs) are a vital way to plug the widening housing deficit in Africa and also inject much-needed capital into the economy”, he said
“The pandemic has forced creative thinking and reinvention of supply-chains for construction within Africa, adding that there is the need to leverage on the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA). It has served as an impetus to adopt dynamic technologies to enhance affordable housing delivery, such as 3-D printing and remote project management”, Chimphonda added.
