Shelter Afrique Development Bank (ShafDB), in collaboration with the Urban and Municipal Development Fund @afdb_umdf (@AfDB_Group trust fund supporting climate-resilient, liveable & productive urban development), is supporting the development of an Affordable Housing Toolkit to support African municipalities in strengthening affordable housing delivery. The toolkit will serve as a practical resource for local governments, offering data-driven insights, innovative approaches, and strategies to improve access to affordable housing for low- and middle-income households. It also seeks to enhance institutional capacity, foster stronger engagement with partners, and identify opportunities for technical and financial support. We value your expertise. We invite you to complete this survey and play a role in shaping the future of affordable housing across the continent : forms.office.com/e/miAyuQULW…
