Housing Deficit in Ghana: “It is time for the Private and Public Sector to Join Hands” says CEO of SuCasa Properties

Affordable housing has been at the forefront of discussions amongst governments around the world, but particularly amongst African governments, as Africa boasts a young, vibrant, and ever-growing population which shows no signs of slowing down. 1.2 billion people strong, 60% of which are under 25 years of age and a third between the ages of 15 to 34 years, Africa is the fastest-growing continent, projected to double by the year 2050. This demographic is coming straight out of school, getting started in life, starting a family, starting a business, amongst other things. Either needing to purchase a home or renting an office space, real estate is far more important to the success of this demographic than we may acknowledge. To make the conversation simpler, Michael O’Grantson-Agyapong, CEO of SuCasa Properties, takes a look at Ghana – the gateway to Africa – as a case study, discussing the estimated 2 million homes deficit in the country, sharing insights on the quality affordable housing segment, and providing solutions that could be implemented to bridge the gap.
