Across the WAEMU region, an estimated housing deficit of 3.5 million units presents both a structural challenge and a major opportunity for high-impact investment. The priority: mobilising long-term capital and risk-sharing mechanisms to finance affordable, sustainable and energy-efficient housing at scale.
On the sidelines of AFIS 2026, the West African Development Bank (BOAD) will bring together investors, industry experts and financial decision-makers to turn this ambition into bankable solutions, from innovative financing instruments and strategic partnerships to concrete opportunities for capital mobilisation.
- Which refinancing, guarantee and risk-sharing instruments can accelerate investment in affordable housing?
- What financing models can expand access to housing for low-income households and those with irregular earnings?
- How can climate finance, bioclimatic design and locally sourced building materials be combined to lower costs and strengthen energy sovereignty?
Join this strategic discussion and help identify new partnership opportunities to unlock and structure the investments that will shape the future of housing across the WAEMU region.
