Dangiwa Named chair of the African Housing Ministers Panel

The Financial Caucus of African Ministers of Housing and Urban Development has elected Ahmed Dangiwa, the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, as its first chairman.

In a statement, Shelter Afrique Development Bank's Special Assistant to the Housing Minister for Media and Strategy, Mark Chieshe, stated that the decision was taken by the bank's shareholders during the 43rd Annual General Meeting and Symposium, which took place in Kigali, Rwanda.

In response to his election, Dangiwa stated that the establishment of the Financial Caucus of African Ministers of Housing and Urban Development presented a unique opportunity to galvanise collective action and accelerate progress towards inclusive and sustainable housing development in Africa.

“I am excited that the shareholders not only considered and approved the establishment of the caucus, which I proposed but also went on to appoint me to lead it as the inaugural chair. I pledge to give it my best. By fostering collaboration, promoting innovation, and mobilising resources, we can transform our continent’s housing landscape and significantly improve the quality of life for millions of our citizens.”

“It is important for us to recognise that as Africans, we are one. We have a common continent; we have a common destiny, and our progress or backwardness reflects on us all. We must, therefore, be deliberate in supporting ourselves to make unified progress across all sectors,” he stated.

The minister asserts that it is the responsibility of African ministers of housing and urban development to guarantee that progress is made collectively in these areas.

According to Dangiwa, the achievements of the caucus would include increased investments in affordable housing projects backed by partnerships with the private sector and international donors, as well as improved collaboration and knowledge exchange that would result in creative housing policies and strategies.

He added that it would include improving access to decent and affordable housing for low-income populations so as to reduce poverty and contribute to social inclusion.

Shelter Afrique Development Bank is a pan-African housing finance institution with shareholders from 44 African governments, the African Development Bank, and the African Reinsurance Corporation.
