Enabling Sustainable and Affordable housing in Africa
Habitat for Humanity Africa’s Housing Forum will involve practitioners and stakeholders who will come together to tackle issues, discuss solutions and promote low-cost, affordable housing as a driver of economic growth in Africa.
Registration is free for all participants.
Participants who wish to attend the forum in person will be required to cover the costs of their travel, accommodation and any other complementary expenses.
A world where everyone has a decent place to live
The need for adequate housing solutions in sub-Saharan Africa is immense. Across the region, an estimated 238 million people live in informal settlements, a number only expected to increase dramatically as rapid urbanization continues to far outpace affordable housing construction.
These informal settlements are often marked by overcrowding, poor housing quality and inadequate access to basic services. Across Africa, there is a total housing deficit of 56 million units.
Some of the challenges facing the most vulnerable Africans include natural disasters and climate change, migration and population pressures, political instability, and health crises, particularly the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
Tackling the housing crisis
Across the region, Habitat for Humanity partners with governments, corporations, non-profit organizations and civil society organizations to increase families’ access to housing solutions.
We help families gain access to decent and affordable housing, housing microfinance services, clean water and safe sanitation, and secure land tenure.
In a disaster-prone region like sub-Saharan Africa, we enable families to recover from catastrophes by rebuilding homes and to strengthen communities’ resilience to future disasters.
While continuing to work in rural areas, Habitat for Humanity is also committed to ensuring that cities are inclusive, safe and sustainable. Our programming is focused on efforts to address systemic issues that prevent people from having adequate, affordable and sustainable housing.
