In a media launch, Dr. Prince Hamid Armah, Advisor to the Minister of Works and Housing and Chairman of the BENCHH 2024 Planning Committee, unveiled details about the upcoming Built Environment National Conference on Housing and Hydrology (BENCHH 2024).

The landmark event, slated for May 27-29, aims to foster collaboration and innovative solutions to Ghana’s pressing housing deficit and hydrology issues.

“The policy formulation and its subsequent efficient implementation stand as the fundamental pillars upon which a nation’s development is built,” Dr. Armah asserted. “In this respect, the role of the Ministry of Works and Housing in guaranteeing and safeguarding the establishment of sustainable housing and infrastructure developments cannot be overemphasized.”

Highlighting the Ministry’s diverse responsibilities, which span from addressing the housing deficit to enhancing flood-resilient infrastructure and regulations, Dr. Armah underscored the significance of its endeavors in shaping the path of national development.

One of the conference’s core objectives is to delve into the challenges and solutions within the sector, including the housing deficit, flood management, and infrastructure financing. “Together, through collaborative efforts and innovative solutions, we can surmount the challenges present and pave the way for enduring progress and prosperity in our nation,” Dr. Armah remarked.

BENCHH 2024 presents a unique opportunity for stakeholders to engage in meaningful dialogues and forge partnerships that will drive transformative change in the built environment.
