Overview

The housing scheme is conceived to deliver affordable, comfortable homes in agricultural communities, using a customized building block concept that can be produced locally.

Associated storage and silo infrastructure is envisaged alongside housing clusters so that produce can be stored close to where it is grown.

Why this programme exists

The scheme is proposed to improve housing conditions for rural farmers and agricultural workers, where poor housing undermines household welfare and rural retention.

NAMCON identified housing as part of a broader rural development agenda: productive farming communities require liveable, permanent settlements alongside farmland and services.

Objectives

Reduce rural-urban migration.
Improve rural living conditions.
Encourage young people to remain in agricultural communities.
Support agricultural communities with fit-for-purpose housing.
Develop associated storage and silo infrastructure.

Expected outcomes
