Development of Housing Microfinance Market in Tanzania

active

The project aims to improve housing conditions for low-income Tanzanian residents through the creation and introduction of a Housing Microfinance product tailored to the Tanzanian context. The product will enable low-income Tanzanian households to access funds to carry out home improvements in a cost-effective manner, primarily by performing much of the work themselves. To help borrowers take advantage of these loans, lenders will provide Construction Technical Assistance (CTA) to minimize the risks associated with self-improvement home projects. The project will develop a set of CTA tools and provide support to local financial institutions in introducing the product.
