AUHF Namibia Public Seminar - Supporting Affordable Housing in Namibia and Africa

With a total population of approximately 2,59 million, Namibia is home to a small population but a large area of 824 292 km², nearly two thirds the land area of South Africa. Characterised by vast tracts of undeveloped and unutilised land, Namibia holds great potential for significant development to address its existing housing gap. A seminar on the state of Namibia’s housing and housing finance sector was held 20 September in Windhoek, to address the challenges faced and the available opportunities. The one-day seminar comprising keynote speeches, panel discussions and a site visit was organised under the African Union for Housing Finance (AUHF) banner, by Letshego Group in partnership with Atenu Developments. Over 60 people attended in person with another 25 present online. Stakeholders from government, private sector, academia and other interested parties were in attendance to create a rich roundtable of contributors on the day.
