The Building Equitable and Inclusive Transformation (BEIT) project is funded by the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the International Trade Centre (ITC).

Recognizing the housing sector's potential to drive economic growth, foster job creation, and combat climate change, the Project for "Building Equitable and Inclusive Transformation (BEIT)" is dedicated to tackling these intricate challenges through an integrated strategy. BEIT's multi-sectoral approach aims to unleash a multiplier effect, significantly enhancing the impact of sustainable housing initiatives, especially in terms of job generation and economic expansion. This comprehensive approach delivers affordable and green housing, catalyses economic progress, expands job prospects across various sectors, and bolsters climate resilience. BEIT's holistic strategy underscores the interplay between economic prosperity, social equity, and environmental sustainability, showcasing the magnified outcomes achievable through multi-dimensional interventions.

By fostering policy dialogue, offering technical assistance and building capacities, and addressing regulatory and institutional barriers to affordable housing and construction, BEIT combines the expertise of the UN-Habitat, ILO, and ITC. This multi-sectoral collaboration yields greener, more affordable housing by introducing a national public works program employing the Employment Intensive Investment (EIIP) approach, thereby creating quality jobs and fostering opportunities for robust economic growth.
