The project aims to revitalize inner city neighbourhoods that provide accessible housing and improved socio-economic conditions for low income and previously disadvantaged South Africans. The project supports the South African Government in the implementation of its ambitious national housing program. Project activities include providing technical assistance and training to develop the knowledge, skills and capacity of the National Department of Human Settlements, the National Association of Social Housing Organizations, and up to 30 other social housing institutions to: (1) apply better planning and implementation mechanisms for affordable well-located housing; (2) establish effective partnerships between social housing institutions and other national stakeholders; and (3) effectively deliver and manage accessible housing.
