"Chinese investment in residential construction in Africa: The role of ABTs" presentated by Dr Mi Zhou at the African Union for Housing Finance (AUHF) Conference, November 17-18, 2014 in Cape Town.
In the past year, economic situation has changed a lot, developing countries are facing much more challenges. The Sino-African relationship is getting stronger. Real estate is becoming more and more important in Chinese outward FDI, which is 3.67% of all in 2013, reaching the peak high in the past decade. As to the real estate industry, more capital has flown into the developed countries for long-term investment.
Africa needs more houses to meet different kinds of demand, based on climates, habits and income, while in most cases, land is not the first factor to consider. Chinese contractors have accumulated quite some experiences in ABT field, which would be quite helpful for the building in Africa. With rapid development, there is huge space for building in Africa, ABT should be considered if applicable.
Key message of the presentation:
• Sino-African cooperation in building has quite some space
• China has quite some experiences in ABT
• ABT should be important when considering the different factors
Dr Mi Zhou is the Deputy Director of the Institute of World Economy, CAITEC. He is a Senior Research Fellow. He has published more than 200 articles and books within his research fields on Outward Investment, Contracting and Trade in Services. He finished his post-doc research in Fudan University and visited Stanford University.

DW co-hosted the panel session, titled "Understanding (and harnessing) Chinese investment interest", with the Centre for African Studies at Peking University.
With more than 46 cities in Africa swelling to populations of a million people or more — and 17 of the world's 100 fastest-growing cities located in Africa — there is an acute need to develop housing solutions for so many urban residents. But raising the capital to meet that growing demand for housing remains a significant challenge.

Chinese investment in residential development in Africa is increasingly having an impact and demonstrating a track record of opportunity and experience. Panelists invited include Chinese investors setting out their experiences and expectations for the market and an African corporation that has received Chinese financing.

This event will examine the progress that Local Enterprise Partnerships have made during their first six months, and the challenges they face in achieving their ambitions in the future. The workshop will hear from local authority and business leaders from the Birmingham and Solihull LEP on their experience of working together in developing and delivering the LEP's agenda, and a leading academic will examine the issues that both the Government and local authorities will need to address to ensure that LEPs can fulfil their role as the main driver of economic growth in their area.
Greg Spencer talks about the Paradigm Project, a for-profit business providing healthy, efficient stoves to Africa that drastically reduces a family's consumption of wood and inhalation of smoke and improves their economic stability.
Not only does The Paradigm Project help the poor, it leverages billions of dollars of value in the carbon markets, reduces deforestation, and changes the paradigm faced by many that creating profits from the poor cannot profit for the poor.

Applying Project Management to the Cultural and Creative Industries: A tool ...Global Expert Systems Inc.
Breaking the cycle of underdevelopment has been the major preoccupation for governments and populations in the developing world over the last one hundred years. With developmental models currently under revision, developing countries have been advised to look for other possible alternatives of sustainable development.
The one area that is gaining significant attention is that of the Cultural and Creative Industries. In recent years, the UN and its specialized agencies have been spelling the good fortune of these industries. However, there is very scant literature to show how best to manage these industries. This paper therefore proposes to show how Project Management as a tool can be used to take these industries to a desirable level to produce tangible results for developing countries.
In addition to standard research based on the existing literature and debates, the Case Study methodology will be used to show at least how one country is making steps and strides with the application of Project Management. It must be noted however, that the paper will be heavily focused on project management methodologies and recommendations for action.
There are three approaches that come to mind for immediate application: the use of the Logical Framework Approach for Project and Program Planning; standardizing project management methodologies across the infrastructure of the cultural and creative industries; and a model for creating a centralized Cultural Project Management Office (CPMO).

WITH A NURSED AMBITION TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IVORY COAST (A EMDES IN WEST AFRICA), OCKRY CAPITAL GROUP - OCG IS ABOUT TO IMPLEMENT A HUGE PROJECT IN THE NORTH PART OF THE COUNTRY.
HERE IS A VIEW OF THE PROJECT.
In February and March 2017, professionals from a global set of companies and organisations joined the 50th GLP, applying their business experience and problem-solving skills to propose a new business model to expand access to inclusive housing loans in rural India.
In partnership with Swarna Pragati Housing Microfinance (SPHM), a pioneer in the use of social collateral in housing loans, GLP participants produced a business plan to support SPHM’s vision of reaching one million loans over the next 10 years.
Through field-research, stakeholder interviews and site visits, participants gained deeper insights into India; the challenges faced by low-income households to access housing solutions and the formal financial sector; and the opportunities for SPHM to tap into India’s significant rural housing market estimated to reach US$80 billion by 2022.
In Asia, housing remains one of the most pressing issues, where more than 500 million still live in slums. Demographic shifts, combined with poor or non-existent land ownership policies and insufficient resources has resulted in a surge of slum creation and further deterioration of living conditions. Given the scale, the need for adequate and affordable housing presents significant business opportunities for the private sector, especially for developers, investors and financial institutions.
Despite the challenges in cities, poverty remains primarily a rural problem, where the housing shortage is still grossly overlooked. Amongst India’s total housing shortage of 113 million housing units, approx. 65 million homes are required in rural areas, mostly amongst Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Low Income Groups (LIG). The main issues preventing low-income rural households from accessing conventional housing in India include a lack of official land titles; a lack of credit history and income documentation; unsuitable length and size of traditional mortgages; and the high costs of collection, administration and delivery of direct loans.
Swarna Pragati Housing Microfinance (SPHM) is a microfinance institution established in Maharashtra, now headquartered in Chennai. It was set up in 2011 by Ramesh Kumar, former Chief General Manager at the State Bank of India (SBI) and Charmain of NABARD’s National Committee on Rural Habitat. SPHM is a pioneer in the provision of incremental housing finance to rural lowincome families to support their aspirations of building a new home, or repairing their existing house. SPHM targets rural customers who cannot access conventional financial products and services for home improvements.

Dr. Tang Xiaoyang, Tsinghua University, International Studies, Beijing: The impact of Chinese enterprises on Africa's urban employment.
Data on the impacts of Chinese trade and investment in Africa were presented and critically analyzed, responding to the challenge of how to establish an effective measurement system. In fact official statistics on employment levels are not always reliable, while the effects of local employment creation in Africa may be only temporary, as for example in construction where low or no skills are required, while the main basis of trade is minerals and oil. Such a trade is imbalanced and not sustainable, and a different path based on local manufacturing would have better outcomes for Africa. At present African manufacturing is negatively impacted by Chinese imports, as in the textile industry and local shoe production in Addis Ababa. Chinese telecom and auto industries in Africa affect only a small part of the value chain and are not relevant to the urban poor. China can export manufacturing industries to Africa where labor is ten times cheaper, but African SMEs cannot cope with such competition. On the other hand, despite low labor costs and tariffs allowing export to EU and USA, Africa’s weak infrastructure and logistical capacity mean productivity is lower than in Asian countries. To sum up, a transfer to manufacturing from construction is a challenge that must be orchestrated to benefit the urban poor.

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

2. MOBILISING CAPITAL FOR HOUSING FINANCE:
-
STRUCTURING HOUSING PPPS
Mr ALASSANE BA
Managing Director, SHELTER AFRIQUE
AUGUST 2013
3. SHELTER AFRIQUE
Pan-African Housing Finance Institution established by the AfDB
and 44 African Governments to finance affordable housing;
Only specialist Housing Finance Institution on the Continent;
Share Capital : USD1bn;
Expects to approve about USD1.2bn of financing for new housing supply
over the next 5years;
Key Products : Project Finance, Line of Credits, Equity Investment
and Trade Finance;
Moody’s Baa - stable rating (2012)
Based in Nairobi, Kenya but with presence in 32 African Countries.
4. During the course of this session…….
Thousands of families would have migrated to one of the major
cities in Africa in search of a new life adding to already severe
shortage of housing in urban areas.
Competing Needs………………………………
In the face of competing demands from health, education etc,
housing simply does not get adequate attention for public
expenditure. For instance in many countries less than 5% of the
budget is allocated to new housing.
PPPs are a viable solution………………………..
Given inadequate public resources to finance housing, access to the
increasing resources available in the private sector is an important
option. We believe that PPPs has to be the main choice for scaling up
housing supply to reduce need.

8. Project Highlights
58 Ha Site about 5km from the Centre of Kigali
Proposal for about 2700 homes for sale including trunk and social
infrastructure;
Objective to create a high quality, high density urban neighbourhood with
affordable housing;
Project was initiated by the Mayor of Kigali in 2012.
Shelter Afrique and Bank of Development of Rwanda invited to assist in
conceptualising the Project and implementing preliminary feasibility studies;
Detailed Project Design and Development to commence in October 2013
Commencement in June 2014 with completion of the first phase 18 months
later.
9. Rationale for Conceptualising this Project
1.
Housing Need : The City of Kigali identified need for up to 10,000 new
affordable housing units/per annum to meet severe shortfall. Political
determination to do something about it.
2.
Lack of Financing : Recognition that the City lacked adequate resources to
finance an appropriate housing programme on its own;
3.
Private sector participation as the only real option for realising political and
social objective;
4.
Early sponsors : Development Bank of Rwanda and Shelter Afrique who
carried the pre-feasibility cost and risk (US$250,000)

11. Making the Transaction Work
A number of important early steps were taken to ensure that the Project was
likely to be attractive to potential investors:
Selection of a Lead Adviser with track record and substantial experience;
Adequate funding of initial feasibility, transaction structuring, site
investigations, stakeholder consultations. This was paid for at risk by BRD
and Shelter Afrique as early investors;
Secure firm commitment of City of Kigali in respect of critical success
factors including Land and infrastructure to Site.
12. Some Lesson we are Learning
Desire to execute a PPP project is not enough. It is important to have the
capacity and experience of managing the process.
It is critical to get a good Lead Adviser. It costs but it is money well spent.
Don’t fly blind.
Ensure that the project conceptualisation is funded and well executed.
PPPs take time and partners can loose interest, therefore keep interest alive
with good communication.
Acute shortage of Construction Capacity for large scale projects. Its useful to
start selection process early.
Disciplined planning is crucial. With many parties involved, its easy to loose
track
13. Some thoughts for Discussion
If PPP structures are an effective structure for facilitating
increased housing supply, why are there so few of them?
What role can organisations like the AHUF play in developing
and promoting Housing PPP practice and structures in Africa.
How can an initiative like this be funded?
