The Better Rural Housing Campaign – Launched in 1974, this campaign was geared towards getting rural inhabitants to construct better housing through a system that comprised the creation of a Village Management Training Programme (VMTP) and Rural and Urban Construction Units (RUCU). 84 RUCUs in 84 districts across the country were set up but eventually, due to lack of proper management and poor training in the use of equipment, the programme was equally dissolved. The creation of the present day University College of Lands and Architectural Studies (UCLAS) to train and build capacity for housing research and development has been largely successful in churning out professionals for the industry. efforts also included other initiatives such as encouraging parastatals and other public institutions to construct employer based housing but failed following economic difficulties. Housing cooperatives whom, given their strong influence back in the 60s and 70s, received government support through various subsidies but eventually fell victim to mismanagement and administrative weaknesses. 3.5 Literature Review Summary From the literature review, it has been noted that Interlocking Stabilized Soil Blocks
