The Minister for Works and Housing, Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, has disclosed that the government is working assiduously to decentralise housing delivery across the country as part of its affordable housing agenda.

Speaking at the National Home Ownership Fair under the theme, "Building Ghana: One home at a time", in Accra on March 4, 2026, Adjei assured Ghanaians, especially civil servants and other public sector workers, that the Greenville District Housing Programme will not be limited to Accra but will extend to other major cities and districts nationwide.

“The government is decentralising housing delivery to ensure inclusivity. Opportunities will no longer be limited to Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, and other major cities.

“Through the Greenville District Housing Programme, we are providing affordable, high-quality homes in every district, prioritising civil servants, teachers, healthcare workers, security personnel, and other public sector employees,” he said.

The Minister further noted that the ministry is promoting low-carbon, climate-resilient construction in collaboration with key Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).

“In line with government policy, the ministry is advancing an integrated agenda that links climate resilience directly to housing delivery and sustainable homeownership. As part of Ghana’s Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement, we are promoting low-carbon, climate-resilient construction through collaboration with key MDAs.

“About a year ago, through this partnership, we launched an implementation roadmap to promote EDGE-certified homes. EDGE certification assesses buildings based on three key resource-efficiency factors: energy use, water consumption, and embodied energy in materials,” he added.

Also speaking at the event, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Homeownership Fund, Prosper Hoetu, disclosed plans to introduce single-digit mortgage rates under the National Mortgage Scheme.

According to the Fund, declining interest rates and improved macroeconomic conditions have created room to make mortgage financing more affordable, particularly for low- and middle-income earners.
