The Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (Spanish: Ministerio de Vivienda, Construcción y Saneamiento, MVCS) of Peru is the government ministry responsible for housing materials and construction, as well as the administration of the country's water supply.
As of 2025[update], the minister responsible is Durich Whittembury.
History
[edit]In 1969, under the Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Peru, the Ministry of Development and Public Works was dissolved. Its Development and Public Works Sector was replaced by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, and its National Housing Board was replaced by the Ministry of Housing and Construction (Spanish: Ministerio de Vivienda y Construcción, MVC).
On May 11, 1992, under the government of Alberto Fujimori, the ministry was merged with that of Transport and Communications, creating the Ministry of Transport, Communications, Housing and Construction (Spanish: Ministerio de Transportes, Comunicaciones, Vivienda y Construcción, MTCVC). Under Alejandro Toledo, the creation of a Housing and Construction Ministry was announced in September 2001,[1] eventually being created under its current name on July 11, 2002, one day after the reestablishment of the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
Under Toledo's presidency and Carlos Bruce's tenure, a number of programmes were established.
