Affordable housing possible

I recently attended a World Bank-sponsored workshop in Nairobi on how county governments can partner with the private sector to deliver affordable housing.

The workshop focused on the role county governments can play in “catalysing” the supply of affordable housing. They can do this by setting aside the large parcels of land they own for large-scale development of fairly-priced houses by the private sector. The partnerships could be in the form of joint ventures or public private partnerships.
