Abstract

This report outlines the findings of the housing domain research of the African Cities Research Consortium, which was implemented in 7 African cities: Accra, Ghana; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Freetown, Sierra Leone; Lagos, Nigeria; Lilongwe, Malawi; and Nairobi, Kenya. The research reiterates the need for housing reform coalitions to focus on addressing governance and institutional coordination within the public sector; the stabilisation of and support for urban rental markets; and addressing intersectional challenges in the building and construction sector.

This is part of the African Cities Research Consortium programme.
