With the intention of identifying and championing increased investment in affordable housing, the report includes insights and analysis into the depth and breadth of investment in South Africa’s housing and housing finance sector. The overall goal of this project is to quantify the breadth of investment activity with respect to housing and housing finance across Africa and to establish a mechanism to track this on an ongoing basis. This project has collected data and highlights gaps and opportunities in the investment landscape. With the aim of stimulating greater investment in affordable housing and connecting investors with potential investments, this report profiles investors and investment instruments with the greatest impact on the housing finance market within the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC).
