Africa is the continent with the largest number of slums. The housing deficit is acute. According to the Pan-African housing development financier, Shelter Afrique,
The African continent requires four million housing units per year to meet its housing needs. He added that the severe housing crisis faced by the continent is mostly due to high population growth in the majority of countries, increased urbanization, and a low supply of affordable housing.
African Mega Projects Investors (AMPI) and partners are stepping into this sector with a robust housing scheme that provides housing including prefabricated houses with the panels solutions for all segments of society: the poor, the middle class, and the rich.
