Social housing supply acceleration program

Description

The objectives of the flagship project “Social Housing Supply Acceleration Program” are:

• To provide a lasting response to the increase in the urban population of our country, the sprawl of urban centers and the legitimate aspiration of citizens for better living conditions;
• To contribute to the development of the building and public works sector, and consequently to the development of the national economy.

The medium-term objective is to reduce the housing deficit in Dakar and the regions, estimated at 300 units in 000. To do this, three levers are used by the government:

• Support for household solvency;
• The increase in supply by developers;
• The massive increase in land supply.

The operational objective is to produce, at cruising speed, 15 housing units per year.

In addition, as part of the second Priority Action Plan (PAP 2), the State of Senegal initiated the project 100 000 housing which should make it possible to boost the construction dynamic through the construction of 100 housing units over 000 years, for the benefit of the most modest populations.

Implementation method

The Lighthouse Project is implemented through different levels of intervention. Several actors, from the public sector as well as the private sector, are involved to guarantee the achievement of the set objectives.

The interventions of the actors can be described as “Components” whose interactions and complementarities form the “Program”.

As part of the Lighthouse Project, land use planning is taken into account as it is a necessary prerequisite for good forecasting and rational implementation of investments in this sub-sector.

The State plays a leading role, particularly through the General Directorate of Town Planning and Architecture (DGUA) of the Ministry of Town Planning, Housing and Public Hygiene.

Several urban development initiatives are underway. They are initiated by public authorities with the participation of private operators, either as service providers or within the framework of Public Private Partnerships (PPP). We can cite :
