Saglemi Affordable Housing Project rehabilitation

Overview

The Saglemi Affordable Housing Project in Ghana is undergoing rehabilitation to address years of neglect, stagnation, and infrastructure theft. Recent efforts include vegetation clearing, infrastructure assessments, and the renovation of damaged buildings to prepare units for potential occupation.

To manage the project, the government has utilized a Public-Private Participation (PSP) model, partnering with private developer LMI Holdings. This approach aims to make the development self-financing and sustainable without additional state funds. Work is currently focused on critical infrastructure, such as underground electrical cabling, water supply improvements via a treatment plant at the Dawa Industrial Area, and internet connectivity.

President John Dramani Mahama announced that the first 700 units are expected to be completed and commissioned by March 2027, with a goal of delivering 1,500 total units by the end of that year. The project, originally intended to be a 5,000-unit estate, remains a subject of political debate regarding housing policy and financing models.
