2021 Housing Finance in Africa Yearbook is now available

With a focus on informal housing in urban areas, the 2021 Yearbook provides updated data on housing markets by country, across Africa.

We thank all essential sector workers, helping to contain the rate of Covid-19 infections!

The Covid-19 pandemic challenges all of us to think carefully about the role of the home in supporting health and wellness. We wish all of our partners, colleagues and friends strength as they manage the effects of the pandemic in their own local contexts. Visit the SA Covid-19 Resource Portal https://sacoronavirus.co.za
