Comprising 30 active members from 17 countries, the AUHF seeks to promote the growth of housing finance across Africa, building institutional capacity at the local level and working with governments for the development of policies conducive for market development.

Through its meetings and activities, the research it undertakes and the news it disseminates to its members, the AUHF has consistently championed the growth of housing finance markets for the benefit of Africa’s populations.
The AUHF AGM was preceded by the AUHF’s annual conference held from 23-25 October 2018 in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.  Under the theme “Building Africa’s Housing Financing Chain”, 192 delegates from 13 industry categories and 30 countries deliberated on the key issues that would grow housing finance across the continent.
At the same meeting, members of the AUHF also agreed on the Abidjan Declaration for Housing Finance.
