DEPARTMENT TO HOST HUMAN SETTLEMENTS INDABA TO ACCELERATE DELIVERY IN THE EASTERN CAPE<\/p>\n
In efforts to fast-track service delivery and improve sustainable human settlements, the Eastern Cape Human Settlements MEC, Siphokazi Lusithi, will host a three-day Human Settlements Indaba on 05-07 July 2023, at the Nelson Mandela University in Gqeberha.<\/p>\n
The Human Settlements Indaba is held in partnership with the Nelson Mandela University under the theme, \u201cAccelerating the delivery of sustainable integrated human settlements in the Eastern Cape through collaborations and partnerships: Leaving No One and No Place Behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Human Settlements Indaba will bring together key stakeholders in the human settlements sector, including government, academics, private sector players, NGOs, and civil society organisations. The Indaba will be attended by the Minister of Human Settlements, Honourable Mmamoloko Kubayi, EC Premier, Honourable Lubabalo Oscar Mabuyane, amongst other government leaders.<\/p>\n
The discussions will be on the implementation of the National Housing Programme, the challenges and opportunities of the province, policy developments, financing, and institutional arrangements. In the last two decades, the housing programme has undergone policy revisions, which have shown the transformation from building houses to creating sustainable communities and sustainable urban forms.<\/p>\n
The programme will also include a certification ceremony in the evening for the councillors, traditional leaders and municipal officials who have concluded the Nelson Mandela University Short Learning Programmes on human settlements.<\/p>\n
