African Union of Housing Finance

AFRICA-CHINA URBAN INITIATIVE
• Promotes Innovation and Knowledge
Sharing for Smart and Inclusive Cities
• Joint intiative of African and Chinese
academic and research institutions,
non governmental organizations
(NGOs), and urban development
practitioners.
• Seeks to increase positive outcomes of
Chinese urban development projects in
Africa by contributing to better-informed
policy and decision-making and sharing
best practices on pro-poor urban
development.
The Challenge
• Cities in both Africa and China are seeing growth
rates that far exceed the global average.
• Rapid urbanization and dealing with its
development challenges: unregulated expansion;
inadequate infrastructure and basic services;
environmental degradation, and increasing poverty
and inequality.
• Cities in these regions are also generating new
ideas and innovations in governance, finance,
service delivery, transport solutions and use of
technologies in managing urban development.
• Urban growth presents challenges. It also presents
opportunities for a better quality of life.
The Opportunity
• China’s trading and investment in Africa reached
a record USD $160 billion in 2011.
• Chinese investments are now a key influence on
the direction of development of African cities and
strategic partnerships are being developed with
African countries.
• There are currently few avenues where the most
positive policies, practices, experiences and
innovations from both China and Africa can be
highlighted, disseminated and learned from.
• The Africa-China Urban Initiative aims to fill this
gap.
The Initiative
• In July 2012, with support from the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation, Development Workshop Angola
and the Centre for African Studies at Peking
University organized a conference in Nairobi on
how to stimulate economic growth to be more
inclusive and benefit more of poor people
• The conference theme was “Pro-Poor Urban
Development in China and Africa” .
• Priority themes: corporate social responsibility,
executive education; housing and finance; urban
land access; and urban transport.
Objectives
• Provide access to high-quality, relevant, and accessible
information and knowledge resources on identified
priority themes;
• Draw on established institutions, networks, and urban
development practitioners in Africa and China and
support them to dialogue, share practical experience and
knowledge that can feed into policies and projects;
Objectives
• Develop learning tools, training and education
programs to help urban development practitioners
respond more effectively to rapid urbanization.
• Stimulate participatory research on key issues
including land tenure, housing finance, innovative
urban transport and physical infrastructure.

Gini Coefficients
The Gini coefficient measures the inequality of wealth within a group
such as a city. A Gini coefficient of ‘zero’ expresses perfect equality
while ‘one’ expresses maximal inequality

Urban Challenges
75% of Africa’s urban
population lives in informal
settlements
Financing urban development
• Large-scale investment is needed in bulk
provision, such as mains water supply and
treatment, final rubbish disposal sites and
mains sewerage.
• Financing urban development in a cities, that
have a low fiscal base, is a severe challenge.
• This is due partly to the poverty of the majority
of the inhabitants and weak taxation regimes.
• Financing is required at a scale that even the
state cannot afford.
• Partnerships with private sector and
international lenders are necessary.
• China has been the principal financer of
urban reconstruction in African cites.
The Case of Angola & China
• Angola is China’s principal African trading
partner
• 25% of China’s African commerce and 15% of
China’s petroleum imports are from Angola
• Angola and China are two of the fastest
urbanising countries in the world.
• At 7% growth Luanda is the fastest growing city
in Southern Africa.
• Much of Angola’s post-war reconstruction is
financed by Chinese credit lines.
• Chinese – Angolan economic cooperation is
estimated to be about US$ 25 billion over the
last decade.
Contracts of Chinese Companies in Angola (2003 – 2009), US$ millions

One million house programme
115,000 houses to be supplied by
State
685,000 houses to be self-built
Chinese Finance for
African Housing
• Chinese investment in urban development in
Africa has grown significantly in recent years
and has become a major influence shaping the
growth of African cities today.
• Chinese real estate investments have reached a
significant scale across the continent.
• As investment grows, opportunities should be
created to adequately address housing and
urban infrastructural needs of the urban poor.
• Real-estate investments in the upper-end-housing
projects have in recent years been over-
subscribed and, pose risks of market bubbles.
• The housing demands for those living lower down
the economic pyramid have been neglected but
provide attractive opportunities for large-scale
investment.
• Innovative but proven African solutions to serviced
land development, housing microfinance and
urban upgrading offer private and public investors
the opportunity to participate in the large-scale
transformation of African cities.
Chinese Finance for
African Housing
Chinese Finance for
African Housing
• The Africa-China Urban Initiative aims to provide a
overview of the extent of Chinese involvement in
urban, residential development in Africa, and to use
this to empower players, both Chinese and African,
to pursue viable investment opportunities on a
sustainable basis into the future.
• By documenting and tracking levels of investment
and key investment initiatives, it becomes possible
to understand both the opportunities and
challenges that such investments involve, and to
direct them towards the pro-poor objectives of this
initiative.
