Recognised as one of Africa’s leading annual affordable housing gatherings, the 42nd Annual Conference and AGM of the African Union for Housing Finance (AUHF) takes place from 10–13 November 2026 in Lusaka, Zambia. Bringing together housing finance institutions, developers, investors, policymakers and industry leaders from across Africa and beyond, the conference provides a platform for exchanging insights, strengthening partnerships and advancing solutions for the continent’s affordable housing sector.
Co-hosted with AUHF member Zambia National Building Society (ZNBS), this year’s conference explores the opportunities for transforming Africa’s housing markets through innovation, technology and stronger collaboration across the housing value chain.
Under the theme “Transforming Africa’s Housing Future: Innovation, Technology, and Value Chain Synergies,” the 42nd AUHF Conference will examine how new approaches, technologies and partnerships can unlock investment, strengthen housing delivery and expand access to affordable housing across the continent.
