Ethiopia to construct millions of residential units - moladi - Ethiopian Ministry of Urban Development, Housing & Construction

The Ethiopian Ministry of Urban Development, Housing & Construction (MoUDHC) is planning to construct 2.45 million houses in housing schemes, between 2015/16 and 2020/21. Out of the residential houses, 750,000 will be built in urban areas and 1.7 million in the rural areas. The plan was discussed in a Ministry’s review meeting held in Adama (Nazreth) earlier this month.

The construction project is expected to commence in 2015-2016 fiscal year and is in line with the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) currently underway.

Mohammedzain Kedir, policy and programme bureau officer of MoUDHC confirmed the news and said that the houses will be erected in the housing schemes of 10/90, 20/80 and 40/60.

For smooth construction to take place, the Ministry has proposed to give out 150,000ha of land for the urban development projects and also issue space for the construction of a maximum of 20 industrial parks.

Out of the 150,000ha of allocated land, 40% will be set aside for construction of the houses, 30% of it for infrastructure and the remaining 30% for green areas.

Ethiopia currently has a population of 90million people out of which 17million live in urban areas. The number is expected to increase to 22million by 2020, hence construction of these houses. The project will build on urban reviews and national spatial plans on urbanization and population growth – undertaken by MoUDHC, World Bank and Ethiopian Development Research Institute (EDRI), among other organizations.

Minister of MoUDHC Mukuria Haile, the minister had told House of Peoples Representatives in January this year that the country was planning on constructing 65,000 houses this year. 74,000 completed houses are to be transferred to owners in Addis Ababa. The country is targeting at reducing percentage of old houses from 60pc to 30 pc and currently it has managed the percentage to 45.

Frugal Innovation In Africa - moladi FRUGAL INNOVATION IN AFRICA  FRUGAL INNOVATION IN AFRICA - moladi Moladi: Affordable houses in South Africa In many African countries, housing is one of the most sensitive issues affecting the lower income groups. In South Africa for example, close to 13% of the 14.3 million households are informal dwellings (Statistics South Africa, 2011). The term “informal dwelling” is often used in South Africa to designate shacks, corrugated-iron structures and other makeshift shelters. The above statistics represents about 1.8 million households (between 7.2 and 10.8 million people). Informal structures are often made of highly combustible materials such as wood and cardboard which pose serious safety and environmental concerns. The structures are easily damaged and exposed to the external elements meaning that people often live in damp, very hot or very cold conditions. The other concern is inadequate or lack of sanitation and running water which constitute

BUILDER OF THE FUTURE

THE BUILDER OF THE FUTURE The Builder of the Future Moladi construction systems has developed a way in which houses and social infrastructure can be built faster and cheaper, without jeopardising the structural integrity of buildings. by Glenneis Kriel - Finweek   While most other industries have undergone tremendous change, the building and construction sector has seen little new technological breakthroughs over the past fifty years. That was until Hennie Botes, the founder of Moladi , came along.   Realising the struggles of the poor in getting good quality housing, already in the 1980s, Botes decided to do something about it. His solution was the development of a whole new building system, which he named Moladi. The system replaces the cumbersome bricklaying process with an approach similar to plastic injection moulding.   A “mould” is produced by training local unskilled labour to assemble reusable plastic injection moulded panels, commonly known as formwork. The formwork is erect
