OVERVIEW
The Government of the Republic of Malawi has an interest in reducing shortage of accommodation for its staff working with the Malawi Defense Force, Malawi Police Service, Malawi Prison Service and the Department of Immigration.

Currently, renting houses is difficult because there is accumulation or rental arrears which makes it difficult to rent new houses. Moreover, the current approach of renting houses does not consider the location of institution office where a government employee serves even though some jobs require the employee to be close to the office.

As such, the Government would like to build 10,000 housing units comprising of three and four bedroomed housing units across the three regions of the country where these institutions are located.

The implementation of this project is in three phases as follows:

Phase One : 1,028 Housing Units

Phase Two  : 4,300 Housing Units

Phase Three: 4,672 Housing Units

The overall average progress of the project is at 3%
