ZIMBABWE will next month launch the construction of 3 000 housing units that will be funded by Shelter Afrique, when the Pan-African finance institution hosts its 41st annual general meeting (AGM) in Victoria Falls.
The conference, which will run under the theme: ‘Climate Change and the Build Environment’, will discuss climate change and how it affects human settlements.
Addressing Tuesday’s post-Cabinet briefing, ICT, Postal and Courier Services Minister Jenfan Muswere – on behalf of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa – said the meeting will be attended by 45 African countries.
“The conference, whose theme is ‘Climate Change and the Built Environment,’ will be attended by Ministers responsible for housing development from 45 African Member States,” he said.
“Cabinet wishes to inform the nation that a ground-breaking ceremony and laying of a foundation stone will be held on the official opening day.
“This will mark the official launch of 3 000 housing units to be funded by Shelter Afrique in Zimbabwe.”
