Avaliação da política nacional de habitação o caso do Fundo para o Fomento de Habitação

Abstract

The FFH is a public institution created under Decree 24/95 of 6 June, with administrative, financial and patrimonial autonomy. Its general task is to ensure financial support for government programs to promote social housing, especially aimed at low-income population groups, qualified labor and young couples. Since its creation, two program contracts have been developed that benefited 1360 citizens in all cities in the country, with the beginning of the third dependent on the availability of funds by MPF. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of the project based on the results of the impact of the programs on the target groups. The methodology was based on a qualitative analysis, through: (a) documentary research; (b) semi-structured interviews with 12 FFH clients, as well as with FFH entities, the Prime Minister's Office, MOPH, DNHU and the municipalities of Maputo and Matola. The conclusions reached reveal that the efficiency and effectiveness of the Fund's activities have been negatively affected by: (1) scope definition; (2) inefficiency of human resources; (c) institutional inability of municipalities to carry out activities linked to urbanization, in addition to the diversity of stakeholders with similar attributions. Thus, scenarios were designed as alternatives for solving the problems detected, being: (1) maintaining the status quo, investing in the quality of human resources, intermediating negotiations between importers of construction materials and Customs for exemption from rights, strengthening ties of collaboration with the community where the program is to be implemented and cooperating more with the municipalities; (2) changing the status quo, redefining the implementation objectives and strategies and also collaborating with the community. However, the two alternatives require the institution's financial viability and sustainability, which can be guaranteed by investing in luxury homes for sale or rent, with the opening of credit lines to municipalities for urbanization activities, with DNHU being responsible for oversight. However, as they continue in their activities, the Fund should prioritize and privilege a constant, but honest and professional dialogue with clients. But because the process involving the promotion of housing in Mozambique is costly, conflicting and difficult, the government has a fundamental role in creating an institutional and constitutional environment that proves to be an incentive for the participation of the private sector in this issue. This involves the elaboration, approval and dissemination of a clear PNH, which does not give rise to ambiguity or contradiction. It must be appropriate to reality, feasible institutionally, humanly and financially.
