Sustainable Housing Finance in Nigeria: Workshop Report

The Sustainable Housing Finance workshop held in Nigeria on the 2^nd of February 2012 was hosted by Alitheia Capital. The workshop was supported by Rooftops Canada, FinMark Trust’s Centre for Affordable Housing Finance in Africa, and Habitat for Humanity International. These organisations have been partners since 2008 and have held two housing microfinance workshops, all in an effort to develop a sub- Saharan housing microfinance sector.

The Sustainable Housing Finance workshop report links with the Building a Regional Support Initiative for Housing Microfinance paper. The goals of the workshop were to identify constraints to the provision of housing microfinance and establish ways in which a regional support programme can facilitate such constraints.
