Makindye Ssabagabo Municipality is one of the fastest growing cities in the Greater Kampala Metropolitan area with a rapid population growth of almost 10% per year. The city faces high emissions with residential housing accounting for 9% of total greenhouse gas emissions, coupled with an acute shortage of affordable housing projected at 189,115 units by 2023. The lack of affordable and green housing exacerbates the city’s ability to reduce carbon emissions and approach net zero. How can we develop scalable, affordable green technologies and models to accommodate the growing population sustainably?
Makindye Ssabagabo is looking for innovative products, services and/or business models which can help build zero carbon, energy-efficient, affordable homes that can be developed and demonstrated in Makindye Ssabagabo by 2023.
