Although yet in its infancy, the growing number of housing projects is sign of a positive future.
Ghana has initiated significant housing programs to catch up on the massive housing deficit in the country. As described here, estimates suggest that up 2 million homes or even more are required. To accomplish such an ambitious objective, numerous projects are required. Following is a number of construction projects at different stages that has already been started or even completed.
