Affordable Housing in Ghana
The Centre for Affordable Housing Finance in Africa has been operating as an independent think tank in South Africa since May 2014.
Pursuing its mission of providing affordable housing in Ghana and making Africa’s housing finance markets work.
Supported by the French and UK governments for affordable housing in Ghana, as well as other funders and partners, CAHF’s work extends across the continent.
CAHF brings information to the marketplace to enable stakeholders in the public and private sectors to make policy and investment decisions in favor of improved access to affordable housing.
CAHF’s emphasis is on the role that finance plays in realizing this, and champions market intelligence—data, market analytics, and research—to stimulate investor interest and to support better policy.
CAHF is highly networked and engages with stakeholders at the local, national, regional, continental, and global levels to support the realization of investment towards affordable housing in Africa.
CAHF monitors the progress and performance of African housing markets and publishes this in its flagship publication, the Housing Finance Yearbook, every November.
The production of the Yearbook is an intensive effort and draws on the participation of local, in-country consultants, who track and present the current state of their local housing markets in short profiles, one for each of the continent’s 54 countries.
As part of our overall Housing Finance Data Agenda for Africa, presented by Reall under the Market Shaping Indicators name, CAHF partnered with Reall to develop extended reports for six countries, reflecting the fruits of more focused data gathering.
