The President, H.E. Dr Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to delivering 50,000 houses over five years, emphasizing the need for sustainable partnerships to address rising urban housing demand.
The President made the remarks during a courtesy visit by an investor delegation from property development firm Westprop Holdings Ltd, which engaged her on potential investment opportunities in the local housing sector.
According to the Office of the Presidency, discussions centered on the proposed Monte Cristo development—a large-scale urban project north of Windhoek—and its potential to help meet the country’s growing housing needs.
Nandi-Ndaitwah welcomed the engagement as an opportunity to accelerate housing delivery, create jobs, and translate national priorities under Vision 2030 and the Sixth National Development Plan (NDP6) into tangible improvements in living conditions.
“Housing remains one of the key priorities under the NDP6, particularly given the increasing demand for affordable housing and serviced land in urban areas,” she said.
Reiterating the five-year target, the President stressed the importance of continuous evaluation to overcome delivery bottlenecks.
“It is important to regularly assess the progress we have made, address the obstacles we face and explore practical solutions to accelerate housing delivery,” Nandi-Ndaitwah added.
