Social housing, incentives for private individuals to carry out social programs
Population growth in Cameroon is putting a lot of pressure on the habitat. Meanwhile the offer is not enough. Even the many programs across the country for social housing remain inadequate to meet demand. This is one of the causes of anarchic constructions that have made their nest in the Cameroonian cities thus causing urban disorder. The context demands a quick resolution for our cities. Conscious of the situation, the State has decided to put in place incentives through the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (Minhdu), allowing private property developers to carry out social programs. For Celestine Ketcha Courtès, it is a question of absorbing the large deficit in social housing and building plots that the country knows. Government support takes different forms: the provision of land, the granting of direct financing or tax facilities, as well as full or partial coverage of the infrastructure. Thus, as part of the implementation of their social housing operations, candidates will be assessed according to a number of criteria divided into two main components: development and construction.
