Shelter Afrique is developing a Sovereign Lending product to supplement its traditional products that attend to both the demand and supply sides of the housing value chain.

Shelter Afrique acting MD Kingsley Muwowo says Africa’s GDP contraction resulting from COVID-19 pandemic was an alarming sign of slump in the inclusive housing goals in many countries and thus the need by the company to respond to the risk of a possible governments’ disengagement, while revitalizing its financial agility.

“The COVID pandemic has brought in an era of economic distress throughout Africa with an average of -3.6 per cent recession in 2020, the first recession in SSA in 25 years.  In response, Shelter Afrique recently reviewed its corporate strategic plan with the aim of aligning itself to its members’ priorities and position the company for better performance and enhanced development impact. One of the result of this strategy review is the decision to develop a Sovereign Lending product to serve our member states,” Mr Muwowo said.

Currently, the Company offers various products and related services including project finance, institutional lending, equity investments and joint ventures, trade finance, and social housing, to support the delivery of affordable housing and commercial real estate.

“Internally, these activities will be executed through experts in various departments in liaison with the African Development Institute to ensure the product is well in line with the market needs of our member States,” Mr Muwowo said.

African Development Institute Divisional Manager, Mr Chidozie Emenuga said the partnership with Shelter Afrique was part of the Africa Development Bank Group commitment to step up its efforts to help overcome the capacity constraint in Africa.

“Capacity development is key to realizing major development goal including the SDGs- which encompasses housing for all, the Addis Ababa Accord on Accelerating Development Financing, the African Union’s Agenda 2063, and national development goals of African countries,” Mr Emenuga said.
