Leading representatives of key organizations, professionals and industry captains are set to convene for the groundbreaking CIR Summit at the Accra International Conference Center (AICC) in Accra, Ghana, on the 27th of September 2024.
The summit, themed “Partnering to Resolve Flooding and Reducing the Housing Deficit” seeks to draw leaders, stakeholders and government agencies from across the country to tackle two of the country’s most pressing challenges on the issues of housing and flooding.
