Project Details

Working across several countries in Africa, AHI conducted several evaluations designed options to expand affordable housing finance, to support an expansion in the reach of housing finance across all income groups in WAEMU countries, primarily by improving access to long-term finance for lenders, improving property rights to facilitate collateralized transactions and expanding the range of affordable housing finance products targeted at those on lower incomes.Considerable benefits of housing expansion include job creation (including in the informal sector), business opportunities for the private sector, financial sector deepening, and multiplier effect on shared growth and prosperity.
