The "Jinene Mhamdia" residential project, located in the Ben Arous governorate, is set to enter its launch phase in the coming days. The project is part of a program aimed at strengthening the social role of the state, which includes two other operations: "Al Arij 2" in Ariana and "Souassi" in Mahdia. These projects are expected to provide around 1,000 plots of land. The Tunisian government aims to complete the projects before the end of 2026.
The Agence Foncière d'Habitation (AFH) announced that registrations for the "Jinene Mhamdia" project will remain open until November 17, 2026. The AFH's director of studies and programming, Houyem Essid, made the announcement on November 5, 2026, on national radio. The project will offer plots of land with areas ranging from 120m² to over 200m².
The "Jinene Mhamdia" project and the two other operations are designed to support low- and middle-income households. Fifty percent of the plots will be reserved for these categories, with a resource ceiling equivalent to three times the guaranteed interprofessional minimum wage (SMIG). The prices of the plots are still being studied and will be announced later.
To be eligible, applicants must register on the AFH website, not own any real estate, and meet the required length of registration. The AFH has already begun preparing new projects for 2027. Houyem Essid emphasized that November 5, 2026, is the deadline for confirming requests for plots of land in the Enfidha project, which covers an area of 57 hectares and includes around 310 individual plots.
The Enfidha project is one of several initiatives aimed at addressing housing needs in Tunisia. With a growing population and increasing demand for housing, the government is working to provide affordable housing options. The AFH's efforts focus on supporting those who cannot afford to buy or build their own homes.
In addition to the "Jinene Mhamdia" project, the AFH is working on other initiatives to address housing needs. The agency's goal is to provide a range of housing options for Tunisians. By offering plots of land at affordable prices, the government aims to help low- and middle-income households achieve homeownership.
The launch of the "Jinene Mhamdia" project and other initiatives is expected to have a positive impact on Tunisia's housing sector. With the registration deadline approaching, eligible applicants are encouraged to apply before November 17, 2026. The project's success will depend on its implementation and the government's ability to meet its targets.
