Eco Buildings Group PLC (AIM:ECOB, FRA:9ZL0) executive vice chairman Dr Etrur Albani spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's framework for a minimum of 10,000 homes in The Gambia, starting with an initial 1,000, alongside plans for manufacturing capacity in the country. Albani said the opportunity reflects both substantial housing demand and growing interest in Eco Buildings' approach to tackling the shortage: "There is a need for half a million houses." The company plans to begin by working with the Gambian government to determine the types of housing needed for public-sector workers, including police, army personnel, teachers and nurses, with Albani indicating longer-term ambitions could extend beyond residential construction into areas such as hospitals. He explained that Eco Buildings is discussing financing arrangements with the Gambian government, including potential further investment from sources such as the World Bank and the African Development Bank. Albani also discussed plans for manufacturing capacity in The Gambia, with the company considering a two-line production configuration that could reduce some ancillary costs compared with establishing lines separately. Looking further ahead, Albani said Eco Buildings sees scope for considerably greater capacity as it develops The Gambia into a manufacturing and export hub, estimating a minimum of another 10 production lines could ultimately be established in the country over the next five years.
