Whilst the principal objective of this report is to undertake an evaluation of Social Funds (SF) both in terms of its institutional functionality and the scope of the projects, there is also a secondary purpose. In evaluating the Social Fund, there was a need to investigate the role and relevance of affordable housing programs which may have been built into Social Funds. In the absence of any institutionalized solutions to affordable housing programs within SF, this report will endeavor to research the  applicability of integrating housing finance or affordable housing mechanisms into the Social Fund.
