In 2020, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) published Her Home: Housing Finance for Women, a study to identify the market constraints as well as the cultural, institutional, and policy barriers to women’s access to housing finance in Colombia, India, and Kenya. Building on the report’s insights, the IFC collaborated with CAHF and Habitat for Humanity’s Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter to conduct diagnostic and scoping assessments in three additional countries. CAHF partnered with the IFC to conduct the research in Ghana and Senegal while Habitat for Humanity’s Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter has been IFC’s partner in Indonesia.

Read the report to learn about the country-specific insights into the barriers women face in obtaining housing finance; and critically how financial institutions and development partners can support increased access to housing finance for women.
