Project Description

Since 2017, the government of Djibouti has committed to implementing, through the Ministry of Housing, a comprehensive strategy called « Programme Zero Slums » (PZB) to gradually rehabilitate all squatter settlements and provide their inhabitants with secure land tenure, decent housing and high quality public space.

The innovative aspect of this programme lies in its operational and integrated approach to achieving the ambitious goal of profoundly and sustainably transforming living conditions in the slums of Djibouti. This project targets the Bâche à Eau slum (10,000 inhabitants) in the town of Balbala.
