ABSTRACT

Housing has been a major problem in Urban areas in the developing countries,

particularly the low income group. One of the strategies adopted to solving this

problem is sites and services

Sites and Services is an approach aimed at providing plots of land in a convenient

location with essential services which would afford people the opportunity to

construct their own houses in an organized fashion

There are various approaches on the implementation of sites and services

scheme that has been adopted in different parts of the world including the World

Bank Assisted Project in Nigeria. Previous studies looked at the Affordability

Replicability and cost recovery aspect of the scheme.

This study focused on some identified parameters/factors that influence the

successful implementation and its performance vis-à-vis the goals and objectives

of the scheme.

After a careful study, it is discovered that the administrative and financial aspect of

the implementation should be strengthened. There should also be partnership

approach i.e. Public/Private participation to make the scheme more meaningful in

its implementation.
