High-profile CIR organises summit to address flooding and reduce housing deficit

On September 27, leading representatives of key organisations, professionals, and industry captains will gather at the Accra International Conference Center (AICC) for a high-profile CIR (Chartered Insitute of Realtors) Summit.

Themed “Partnering to Resolve Flooding and Reducing the Housing Deficit,” the summit aims to tackle two of Ghana‘s most pressing challenges: flooding and the lack of affordable housing.

The CIR Summit is designed to bring together high-profile individuals and professionals to create and implement actionable plans aimed at improving the quality of life in Ghana.

The summit will focus on collaboration and strategic planning to address key issues and drive positive change.

The event will feature a panel discussion with targeted keynote speakers, including the Minister for Works and Housing, the Minister for Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, the Minister for Roads and Highways, the CEO of the State Housing Company, and the Mayor of Accra.

These dignitaries will be joined by other leaders, stakeholders, and government agencies to tackle the interconnected issues of flooding and affordable housing.

Flooding, an annual natural and artificial real estate phenomenon, and the lack of affordable housing are pressing challenges that have devastating consequences for Ghana’s development.

The summit aims to build a resilient future by creating a comprehensive and strategic plan to address these societal challenges.

The event will foster a collaborative environment where innovative solutions can be developed, breaking down silos to create meaningful change.

Key components of the summit include:

• Flood Mitigation Strategies: Experts will share best practices for flood prevention, including infrastructure solutions, improved drainage systems, and resilient building design.
• Sustainable Housing Development: Discussions will explore ways to increase the supply of affordable, flood-resistant housing while promoting sustainable practices.
• Public-Private Partnerships: Joint efforts of the government and private institutions will be highlighted to explore opportunities for financing and implementing solutions.

In addition to the summit sessions, there will be an exhibition showcasing innovative solutions from leading companies and organisations.

Attendees can explore flood mitigation technologies, sustainable building materials, prefabricated housing models, and other exciting activities.

The CIR Summit promises to be a pivotal event in addressing Ghana’s flooding and housing challenges, bringing together key players to develop and implement strategies for a more resilient future.
