The Corporate Council on Africa (CCA), established in 1993, is at the forefront of strengthening and facilitating the commercial relationship between the United States and the African continent. CCA works closely with governments, multilateral groups and business to improve the African continent's trade and investment climate, and to raise the profile of Africa in the US business community.
CCA members believe that Africa's future success depends upon the ability of its entrepreneurs and business people to create and retain wealth through private enterprise. American corporations and private individuals can contribute most effectively by building partnership and reaching out to the African private sector in the areas that America knows best: private enterprise, investment capital, technology transfer and management.
CCA programs are designed to bring together potential business partners and raise Africa's investment profile in the US by developing critical contacts and business relationships and providing a forum for the exchange of information and ideas.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP - DAY THREE
wednesday 20th
July 2016
CAPACITY BUILDING
With the public sector being expected to shoulder the bulk of infrastructure financing, the
private sector needs to fill the gaps that cannot be met by the public sector. The private
sector has come to recognise the shared costs and benefits of
infrastructure development, a variety of constraints such as lack of commercial appeal in
terms of an attractive ROI, uncertainties in legal and regulatory environments for private
investors to commit significant amounts of capital over the long life cycle of the project
continue to hinder their full participation.
This workshop aims to augment the public and private sectors’ capabilities to address
these constraints and to help unlock the next frontier of private capital support for
housing development. This workshop will focus on the commercial viability dimension of
infrastructure project development design and proposal. In particular, the workshop will
examine the process of attracting private funds by developing bankable project proposals,
and ensuring appropriate policies, laws, regulations, and institutions, including risk transfer
and / or guarantee instruments are in place to support such investments.

MORE ABOUT THE EVENT
large scale events
WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT
Africa is growing through its cities. And every day, as people flock to urban
centres in search of opportunity and change, the demand for housing grows.
With an annual urbanisation rate of 3.5% over the past two decades, Africa’s
cities are the fastest growing in the developing world. Currently, about 40% of
the continent’s one billion people live in cities and towns; and it is estimated that
in the next few years, some African cities will be home to as much as 85% of their
country’s population. Difficult to contemplate in the abstract, these numbers have
a very local feel. Africa’s cities are crowded and vibrant spaces. The residential
opportunity is obvious.
Investors, financiers and developers understand that the market is ripe for
innovation that will respond to the needs and capacities of the majority.
Governments are also ready for this change, and are clearly open to proposals that
will address what seem like intractable problems when tackled alone. As innovation
in other markets has demonstrated, it is the disruptive business model that will alter
the terrain and create new opportunities for growth. In the housing sector, this is
about engaging with the reality of affordability and delivering to the market.
More concerted efforts are needed to establish affordable housing and slum
upgrading at the scales needed. 3rd Annual Affordable Housing Africa comes at an
opportune moment providing a platform for all key stakeholders to engage at a
global level, mobilise partners to redefine the role of housing in today’s new urban
agenda. Attend this event to examine the critical issues facing the housing industry,
explore how the housing sector can grow in the context of an economic crisis and
how to deliver more with less, thereby taking advantage of the unprecedented
opportunities in this sector.
3rd Annual Affordable Housing Africa will create a one stop shop for all
stakeholders to discuss and deliberate on the challenges facing them and
brainstorm innovative ideas by generating sustainable practices that are proven
in the development of housing. This highly-interactive and information packed
event will highlight case studies from some of the finest and at the same time
provide an excellent networking platform for the public and private sectors, global
professionals and industry leaders who are all directly involved with the growth
and development of affordable housing, enabling Africa to take itself to the next
stage of development.
The streams allocated in the conference agenda include:
Days One & Two
Stream 1: COST CONTAINMENT: Alternative Materials & Building Technologies
Stream 2: BRIDGING THE GAP: Housing Finance & Policy

JOIN OUR EXCLUSIVE SITE VISIT
19th July 2016 to Langa CRU
The Langa CRU (Community Residential Units) is a project that was built on the Old
Depot Site in Langa and forms part of the first phase of a project which will ultimately
see the construction of more than 1 300 CRU units in the next five years within Langa.
The first phase comprised the relocation of 463 households who resided in the
New Flats and Special Quarters hostels and in the Siyahlala informal settlement
in Langa. The vacated blocks and informal structures on the three sites were
demolished immediately after they were vacated and the land was cleared to make
way for the construction of Phase 2 of the project. The purpose of this approach is
ensure that further land is unlocked for future phases of the development. The last
remaining blocks will then be demolished, making way for the implementation of
the remainder of Phase 2.
Each unit within the CRU is 40m2 in floor area, has 2 bedrooms, 1 common room
(Kitchenette) and 1 bathroom. There are electrical points and light fittings in
each room and the bathroom and common room has a washing machine point
and stove point respectively. The unit is also provided with a solar geyser and an
electrical “Ready Board” for which the tenant can purchase electricity his/her unit.
The allocation process has been driven by the practical consideration that without
the required land, the project cannot go ahead. The allocations have also been
done in accordance with the applicable policy criteria and in consultation with the
legitimate Project Steering Committee.
Construction of Phase 1 has been completed and all units were fully occupied in
December 2015. It is anticipated that construction of Phase 2 will begin by mid-2017.
