CAHF began its review of African housing finance markets ten years ago, in 2010, when we published the first ever Yearbook on housing finance in Africa, “a review of some of Africa’s housing finance markets”. In that first edition we profiled fifteen countries, curating existing data from mostly secondary sources to highlight market potential. In the years since then, the Yearbook has grown, to 28 country profiles in 2011, 35 the following year, 48 in 2015, 54 in 2017 and now 55 countries and territories, and 5 regions in 2019, our 10th anniversary edition. This is the third year that we’re also publishing the Yearbook in French. What started out as a 78-page book in 2010 is now almost 300 pages in 2019
