Uganda faces a critical housing deficit of over 2.4 million units, with rapid urbanization
worsening the crisis. At Multax Construction, we're pioneering innovative solutions to make
quality housing accessible to all Ugandans.
The Affordable Housing Challenge in Uganda
Key factors driving Uganda's housing crisis:
- Urban population growing at 5.2% annually
- 80% of new housing targeting only 8% of the population
- Construction costs 30-40% higher than regional averages
- Limited access to affordable mortgage financing
"For every 1,000 Ugandans, there are only 3.5 housing units being built annually -
we need to triple this to meet demand." - Uganda Ministry of Lands
Multax's Innovative Housing Solutions
We're implementing cost-effective approaches:
- Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks (ISSB) technology (30% cost savings)
- Modular construction techniques reducing build time by 40%
- Cluster developments with shared infrastructure
- Rent-to-own financing models
Government Partnerships & Policy Support
Critical policy interventions needed:
At Multax, we advocate for:
- Tax incentives for affordable housing developers
- Streamlined approval processes for social housing
- Public-private partnerships for infrastructure
- Local material manufacturing support
Our Current Affordable Housing Projects
Multax is delivering 500+ affordable units annually through:
- Nakawa Mixed-Income Development (Kampala)

By combining innovative construction methods, smart financing, and policy advocacy, we
believe Uganda can close its housing gap within a generation.
