The Centre for Affordable Housing Finance in Africa (CAHF) has been operating as an independent think tank in South Africa since May 2014, pursuing its mission of making Africa’s housing finance markets work. CAHF’s work extends across the continent, and it is supported by and collaborates with a range of funders and partners.
CAHF relies on donor funds to pursue its mission of making affordable housing markets work in Africa. Your support makes a difference!
