Housing and Urban Development Minister, Ahmed Dangiwa, has called on Shelter Afrique’s shareholders to focus on strengthening the organisation for rapid and affordable housing delivery in Africa.

Dangiwa made the call in Algiers, Algeria, at the 2023 Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Shelter Afrique. 

Shelter Afrique is a pan-African finance institution that supports the development of housing and urban development on the continent.

It’s a partnership of 44 African governments, the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Africa Reinsurance Corporation (Africa-Re).

The minister emphasised the importance of shareholders’ unity and commitment to the company’s mission to provide affordable housing solutions across Africa.

He highlighted the significance of the 2023 EGM and its role in shaping Shelter Afrique’s future and commended the company’s leadership.

“Today, we are convening this EGM to discuss and take decisions on the pending matters. Through objective discussions, we are optimistic that we would conclude and approve the company’s revised Statutes. 

“Doing so will mark a momentous milestone and would lay the foundation for a new, innovative, and impact-driven Shelter Afrique,” he said.
