MSEA Busia Office conducted a monitoring and familiarization visit to the Affordable Housing Project site at the ATC in Busia. The project aims to improve livelihoods by providing decent, affordable housing while creating employment opportunities for local communities.
The Inspector of Works briefed the team on the progress of the development, which comprises seven blocks, fourteen floors, and 1,024 housing units. Upon completion, the project will also feature key amenities, including a shopping mall, a school, and a swimming pool, creating an integrated and sustainable living environment.
During the visit, MSEA outlined its mandate in mobilizing and organizing Jua Kali associations to tap into available opportunities and discussed establishing a framework to facilitate the participation of local artisans and MSMEs.
The engagement strengthened collaboration among stakeholders and reaffirmed MSEA’s commitment to promoting local enterprise participation in national development projects.
