The objective of the RFQ is to identify qualified private developers to execute a large-scale affordable housing initiative aimed at constructing approximately 80,000 mixed-use housing units nationwide. This foray into the housing sector via PPPs follows the government’s fruitful efforts to attract investment in the renewable energy sector. This venture represents a landmark development for the nation’s renewable energy capabilities. The Aysha wind power project, poised to be the largest of its kind in the Horn of Africa, will span 18,000 hectares.
