Affordable housing in Africa is both a challenge and a major opportunity. Over 50 million homes are needed to close the housing gap. Developers and governments are embracing housing shortage solutions such as public-private partnerships, prefab technologies, and rent-to-own models to unlock scalable impact.
Success stories include Ethiopia’s government-led condo model and Rwanda’s mortgage-backed housing schemes. Private investors have a key role to play in scaling up inclusive urban development across peri-urban zones.
