The 2020 African Union for Housing Finance virtual conference took place under the theme, ‘Investing in the SDGs: Finding a Market Opportunity in Affordable Housing’. From the second to the sixth of November 2020, the conference featured five days of premium content and networking, as well as an interactive virtual expo the conference.

The conference provided a high-quality and seamless experience for investors, developers, and professionals looking to connect across time zones, share ideas, and work towards achieving the SDGs (sustainable development goals) in the post Covid-19 future. While housing is explicitly articulated in Target 11 of the SDGs, it is a key component of sustainable development across all of the goals.

Good housing drives access to basic services, contributes towards inclusive growth, and supports the development of a sustainable future. It has a direct impact on the factors that contribute to or mediate the effects of climate change. Investment in affordable housing will therefore have a profound and direct impact on at least 14 of the SDGs.

As Africa drives its housing agenda forward, the AUHF virtual conference provided an agenda for debate that promotes market growth and opportunities in green development, infrastructure building, services, jobs, and inclusive economic growth.

The 34th AUHF conference explored the emerging concerns, challenges, and opportunities affecting the links along Africa’s housing finance chain. Each link in the housing delivery chain has an integral finance component, and while a key focus in the market has remained on extending end-user finance through mortgage and nonmortgage means, construction or developer finance is equally critical, as is the creation of a quality investment environment that recognizes the opportunity in affordable housing.  These altogether create a functioning finance chain that is critical to supporting housing – an enabling macro-environment; the presence, interest, and capacity of investors; and the engagement of financiers. The AUHF conference was structured to unpack these issues through presentations, in-depth panel discussions and forums clustered around the above themes.

Kampala Serena Hotel, Uganda, 17th to 19th October, 2017

Across Africa, the residential investment opportunity is increasingly driving conversations about economic growth. The opportunity is clear: with the fastest rate of urbanisation globally, and a growing middle class, Africa’s demand for affordable housing is increasing at a rapid rate. Governments and the private sector each have an excellent opportunity to gear this interest in support of their growth and investment targets, while also meeting the housing needs of their growing urban populations. In the context of an economic downturn on the African continent, housing creates an important and strategic opportunity to change the narrative and drive growth from within.

Housing is all about the value chain. The process of delivering and managing a home – from land assembly through to infrastructure provision, house construction, the sales and transfer process, and then ongoing maintenance and improvements – is highly interdependent drawing on multiple sectors in the economy and departments in government. Any weaknesses along the chain affect the performance of the entire chain: it is as strong as its weakest link. Stakeholders across the continent in the public and private sector are yearning to intervene meaningfully and sustainably in the housing space to harness the growth potential however; this will only be realized if key sector players come together and address these challenges in a concerted manner.

This year’s African Union for Housing Finance Conference under the theme, “Engaging housing value chain for growth,” brings together key players in Africa’s housing and housing finance industry to chart a way for the betterment of housing across the continent. Focusing on the key links in the chain, the conference will bring together financiers, developers, professionals and policy makers to deliberate on the challenges and explore opportunities. Case studies from across the continent will be presented. Five sessions are planned, to include both international and local speakers:

• Opening ceremony: engaging value chain for growth
• Financing land and infrastructure for residential property
• Building affordable housing to scale
• Promoting sustainable investment into affordable housing
• Closing: Public and Private Sector building the value chain together
• Housing Microfinance Workshop – Facilitated by Terwilliger Center for Innovation and Shelter,Habitat for Humanity International

Co-hosted by the AUHF and Housing Finance Bank Uganda, the conference concluded with a Kampala Declaration, signed by the active members of the African Union for Housing Finance, setting out key issues for attention to engage the housing value chain for growth across the African continent.

In Nigeria alone, a backlog of an estimated 17 million units suggests that housing construction will be at the forefront of that country’s economy for some time.  Already, Nigeria’s real estate sector is one of the main, non-oil sector contributors to the country’s rebased GDP, contributing 11 percent by 2014.  Given the projected demand, it is estimated that the N6.5 trillion market will grow at an average of ten percent over the next few years.  Of course, affordability remains a key constraint, combined with a host of other issues concerning land, cost of funds and the overall enabling environment.  Despite these, the opportunities for significant returns on housing investment, while also meeting a fundamental social need, are tremendous. At Nigeria’s current mortgage rates, a simple $20,000 house could be affordable to about 16% of the urban population, or about 3 million urban households.

Bring the house price down to $15,000 and an estimated 35% of Nigeria’s urban population could afford to buy housing with a mortgage – this is in the region of 6.6 million households, and could create $99 trillion in investment and upwards of 4 million jobs.  What are the opportunities and how might these be captured to support Africa’s growth agenda going forward? This is the focus of this year’s annual conference of the African Union for Housing Finance.

Taking place in Abuja, Nigeria, from 14-16 September, the conference is structured around key themes ranging from the potential of public-private partnerships to unlocking hidden potentials, to the challenges of funding the mortgage portfolio, the opportunities to be found in rental housing and housing microfinance, and the strategies to address the challenge of affordability.  With an agenda structured around presentations in plenary and panel discussions, as well as a housing marketplace to support focused conversations between investors and projects, the conference will attract stakeholders from across the continent, all with the express purpose of furthering investment in affordable housing.

Key Sessions:

• Session 1: Public Private Partnerships to Enable Growth in Affordable Housing Delivery
• Session 2: Growing Africa’s Mortgage Markets
• Session 3: Harnessing Opportunities on the Demand Side
• Session 4: Growing the Capacity of Housing Microfinance
• Session 5: Priming the Housing Sector to Foster Greater Growth

The 32nd Annual Conference of the African Union for Housing Finance offers stakeholders a platform for discussing and sharing experiences, and deliberating towards innovative interventions to support the growth of Africa’s economies through the development of a vibrant housing sector.  Offered by an industry body with an explicit mandate to support the growth of Africa’s housing finance sector, the conference will realise actionable recommendations that will transform the housing landscape and create new opportunities across the continent.

AUHF Conference & AGM 2015
26 – 28 October 2015 | Durban, South Africa

How do we make housing finance markets work? This ever pressing question—increasingly urgent as Africa urbanises—was debated by over 95 housing finance practitioners from 64 companies and 19 countries at the 31st Annual AUHF Conference and AGM. Held in Durban, South Africa, and hosted by AUHF member, the Banking Association of South Africa, the conference was opened with an address by the AUHF’s new Chairperson, Oscar Mgaya, the CEO of the Tanzania Mortgage Refinance Company. Mgaya outlined the severity of the challenges facing Africa’s housing finance sectors, and how the AUHF, through its 31 years, has tried to create a platform for deliberation about these complex issues.

Before the sessions started, the African Development Bank’s Dr. Issa Faye presented on the findings from their joint research with UN Habitat on Africa’s housing finance sector. Dr. Faye was followed by Thomas Ogutu, Head of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Unit of the African Union. Ogutu presented Africa’s Draft Common Position for Habitat III, the United Nation’s conference on urbanisation that is held every 20 years. The Common Position will be Africa’s position for Habitat III, and form the core of the continent’s input into what will be the world’s urbanisation agenda for the next two decades. Ogutu was at the conference looking for feedback on the paper from Africa’s housing finance sector, and the sessions that followed aimed to provide the input from the various institutions present.

The first session, titled, Financing the Housing Value Chain, included presentations that looked at various parts of the chain, including rent-to-own schemes, guarantees for infrastructure and construction loans, the issuing for bonds by municipalities, refinancing of mortgage portfolios with local currency bonds, as well as mortgage refinancing facilities. Afterwards, as part of the inaugural Housing Finance Marketplace, Making Finance Work for Africa (MFW4A) held a panel discussion that included the International Finance Corporation, Shelter Afrique, UN Habitat, the World Bank and Olivier Hassler, the renowned housing finance expert. The morning of the final day of the conference started with the second part of the Housing Finance Marketplace—one-on-one meetings between stakeholders and the financiers that are part of MFW4A’s Housing Finance Donors Working Group, including International Finance Corporation, Shelter Afrique and the World Bank. These one-on-one meetings have already led to two deals, and it will form an important part of future AUHF conferences. This will hopefully result in further deals, as it will create a platform for greater engagement and cooperation between financiers and stakeholders.The next two sessions focused on housing microfinance and how to adequately respond to particular types of demand. The key overlap of the sessions was how to increase the supply of housing microfinance to meet the significant demand by those who derive their income from the informal sector. Because of the informality of their employment, and their general low incomes, it was argued that more market research as well as new ways to underwrite the many households who cannot be adequately accommodated for by traditional mortgage instruments are needed. These three sessions fed into the fourth and final session: breakaway groups of the different groups of practitioners. These four groups—mortgage lenders; housing microfinance lenders; delivery agents; and development finance institutions, guarantors, wholesale financiers and private equity—discussed what was required to make housing finance markets work for them.

The feedback from the breakaway sessions provided the basis for the Durban Declaration—a paper that serves to provide input into the Habitat III process by Africa’s housing finance sector and to make public a commitment to increase access to housing finance across the continent. The Declaration notes that the development of mortgage and housing microfinance markets have insufficiently kept apace with Africa’s urbanisation, that housing finance is a critical link in the housing delivery value chain and that affordability is a key issue in all of this. It calls for transparent land management systems, investment in infrastructure and serviced land for housing, greater attention to how macroeconomic and monetary policy affects housing markets, that housing microfinance should be elevated in national importance, and for the need for consistent housing policy and regulatory frameworks.

The Declaration ends with a commitment, signed by all 48 members of the AUHF, to contribute to making housing finance markets work. From ensuring that housing and housing finance products are affordable to our populations and mobilising more resources in the sector to contributing to research and creating robust and sustainable housing supply chains, there is a lot that can be done that will help overcome these seemingly intractable problems. The AUHF continues to work towards the goal of working housing finance markets, and looks forward to assisting current and new members in their work across Africa.

30th Anniversary AUHF Conference & AGM |
17-19 November 2014 | Cape Town International Convention Centre, Cape Town, South Africa

Housing delivery is not reaching the scale, sustainability or affordability levels that Africa’s urbanisation pressures demand. Investors, lenders and developers will miss the market if they do not consider the realities of affordability and the very real need for scale and sustainability across the continent. What kinds of alternative building technologies should be considered? And how can these be financed?

The 2014 AUHF conference sought to address a key challenge faced by housing lenders, developers, and policy makers across the continent: meeting the demand for the scale delivery of affordable and sustainable housing. The AUHF conference looked at sustainable housing and new green technologies, rapid construction methodologies that address scale, and affordable construction technologies that realise housing affordability for lower income earners. Mechanisms to finance these approaches were considered on the second day, which ended with a 30th anniversary celebration of the AUHF’s founding in 1984. The conference was coupled with an exhibition of alternative building technology providers, and raised the profile of this key issue for demand among policy makers and practitioners across the continent.
