Low income housing delivery still remains a challenge in Botswana. The government
initiated various programmes to address this problem and the Self Help Housing
Agency (SHHA) is one of those programmes. This is an exclusive programme limited
only to a prescribed low income group. While SHHA has proved to offer
opportunities in sustainable low income housing delivery (due to the complimentary
roles played by government and beneficiaries), housing problems still persist
especially for the low income households. This, to a certain extent, is due to
shortcomings within the programme. Any recommendations to address those
shortcomings will enable government to achieve its objectives in low income housing
delivery.
