Assessing Rwanda’s Affordable Housing Sector

During 2018, CAHF worked with the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to develop a ‘Deep Dive’ report on the catalytic role the affordable housing sector could have on Rwanda’s future economic growth. This will be used to identify and implement a plan of action for the World Bank Group’s future engagements and investments in Rwanda.

This study—to be released during the first half of 2019—has served as a key component of a new World Bank Group diagnostic process, the Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD). Initial research into Rwanda’s prospects for future growth indicated two high-potential sectors: affordable housing and agribusiness. Detailed reports on the status and potential of these two sectors were drafted, with a CAHF-led team undertaking the Affordable Housing Deep Dive.
