Within an increasingly evolving housing ecosystem, the Habitat for Humanity Egypt is organizing a national forum that aims to unfold the question of housing supply for the poor and vulnerable communities in Egypt. As such, the housing ecosystem refers to all the actors and institutions that work together to meet the needs of the society in terms of housing supply, including improving the housing value-chain.
The national forum addresses issues related to housing in Egypt in order to create a momentum of interest amongst practitioners, researchers & academics in the field. This forum will contribute to the establishment of a national community of practice in the housing, microfinance and integrated development sectors. A report from the National Housing Forum with key messages and success stories to be presented at the HFHI’s MENA Regional Housing Forum and COP27 on October 10th, 2022.
The key topics for the forum will be affordable housing, housing finance, and adequate housing.
To address resilience in the housing sector, HFHE is organizing a competition aimed at Egyptian entrepreneurs to propose ideas and concepts for a “Resilient Housing Model”; an innovative model that addresses resilience, mitigation and affordability that takes into consideration the Egyptian context (geography and demography) and follows the national building regulations.
The ideas can fall within any of -but not only- the following areas:
The proposed project ideas can be at any stage of development, i.e. at the conceptual design stage or in prototyping stage etc. This will give the opportunity for Egyptian entrepreneurs to voice and present their ideas, connect with support networks and resources, as well as help HFHE receive new ideas that are potentially scalable.
For the competition details, please find here the English and Arabic call for proposal PDFs.
