Housing Africa: Bridging the Gap Between Demand, Affordability & Delivery

At Arise Africa 2026, we brought one of Africa’s most pressing realities to the table: housing. Our panel session, “Housing Africa: Bridging the Gap Between Demand, Affordability & Delivery,” explored the realities behind Africa’s housing deficit and what it will take to create solutions that are not only available, but accessible and sustainable. Moderated by Tope Mark Odigie, the conversation featured: Mr. Zachary Kanyatta Munene Managing Director, CapitalFlow Africa Partners Ltd Mrs. Sade Hughes Country Manager, Mixta Real Estate Plc From affordability and financing to housing delivery and the role of the private sector, the discussion reinforced an important truth: bridging Africa’s housing gap requires more than building more homes; it requires building smarter, more accessible systems around them. This is the kind of conversation that moves Africa forward.
