Luanda — The organised growth of the territory and promotion of housing policies, mainly social ones, are some of the main priorities of the Ministry of Urbanisation and Housing for the coming four years, announced the incumbent minister, Diakumpuna Sita José.
Speaking to the press, Sita José said it is necessary to continue working in the arrangement of the territory, to put and end to asymmetries in matters of population concentration.
He also said that the laws and rules that will guide the territory ordering process are already created.
Thus, priority will be given to the construction of social residences, designed for needy families, as well as re-housing of people living in areas of risk.
The minister also said that there is a moral and political commitment with former combatants and young people in matters of housing, a guideline from President José Eduardo dos Santos.
The programme foresees the integration of initiatives of social housing promotion within a global integrated programme, with a centralised co-ordination.
Sita José said that under the project his department will be the promoter and supervisor of initiatives that may turn up, adding that they are carrying out studies on this matters in other countries that could mobilise with success the private sector in the promotion of social housing.
