landscape.

Our strong partnerships with key stakeholders

Construction Technology on the real estate industry.

This exploration underscores our commitment to

staying on the forefront of technological innovation

“Inspiring

Inclusion”


uestions:

By: Marj Orie Kivuva Partner in charge of Real Estate & Finance, Tarra Agility Africa

1) This year’s theme is “Inspiring Inclusion”. As a career woman, what

does that mean to you?

As a career woman, it means being an active participant in bridging the gap of representation of

women from diverse economic, social and political backgrounds in the legal business industry.

MARJ ORIE KIVUVA

Partner in charge of Real Estate

& Finance, Tarra Agility Africa

This means I am thinking about a) who (woman) can I bring

with me to the table? What am I doing in an individual

capacity to help young women and girls in my profession?

In my career I am continuously mentoring girls and young

women to confidently chase their dreams especially in

careers where they have been labelled “male- dominated” or

“boys club”. As a woman in this era, I preach to them that

you can be anything you want and economically empowered

as many women have gone ahead of us and paved the way

for us.

It is important that I also teach them to pay it forward so that

we are lifting up each woman and girl around them including

those marginalised.

How has being a woman influenced your experience in

the property development industry?

Real estate industry is a male dominated industry therefore

being a woman in the legal industry supporting this industry

has forced me to be assertive and push my way through the

barriers.

It has also given me the opportunity to be mentored by other brilliant women in the property development

industry.

2) Can you share a specific example where your gender presented

challenges or barriers in your career journey?

Yes, I have experienced challenges or barriers in my career development related to motherhood. I

have seen how choosing to be a mother affected my acceleration in the workplace as you are

perceived as “unproductive” or you are not passionate about career progression which is a far cry

to your intentions. Therefore, it means your peers who are male have a higher chance of accelerating

the corporate ladder in the workplace than you because of your gender.


uestions:

3 ) In what ways have you championed inclusivity and diversity within your

professional sphere?

Through mentorship and leading by example. As a woman, there are no barriers to what you can

create and I live by this mantra.

4) Have you encountered any instances where your perspective as a woman

brought unique insights or solutions to a project or problem?

Yes, I think being a woman means that you have a nurturing spirit. I have encountered instances

where I have impressed on the team to build a relationship with partners and clients in the industry

where it may have not been a priority for the business.

5) What strategies have you employed to

navigate and overcome gender biases

in the property development sector?

Collaboration with fellow professional women in the

industry who have been in the game longer than I

have to mentor me and walk with them in breaking

down barriers for women in the industry.

6) As a female leader, what initiatives have

you implemented to foster a more

inclusive work environment?

I am proud that the Tarra Agility Africa team is made up of 70% women and this speaks to my

passion for inclusivity focused on forging women’s economic empowerment. Tarra Agility Africa

being a legal, tax and accounting advisory firm, I take initiative in advocating for female gender

recruitment in the team despite the perception that for example tax and accounting is a preserve

of the male gender.

As a female team leader, I am also cognisant of pay gaps between men and women in the legal

industry. I have taken the responsibility in the leadership to ensure that there is pay equity in the

Tarra workplace.

In terms of decision making, I ensure that the women in the team have their voices heard and the

decisions taken by the leadership are alive to the female gender lens. This ensures that I am

supporting women and girls into leadership and decision making.

We also need the men in our team to be allies and champion the inclusivity of women in the

business. I am always talking to the men in the team to support the women in the work environment.


uestions:

How do you envision the role of women evolving in the property development

industry in the coming years?

I foresee the industry increasingly having women leadership and representation taking shape

and space in the industry transforming it into a more inclusive sector. This means having a seat at

the table to make decisions that support the economic, political and social empowerment of

women.

7) Can you highlight a project or collaboration where diversity and inclusion

were integral to its success?

8) What advice would you offer to young women entering the property

development field to navigate and thrive in a male-dominated industry?

Firstly, get your professional education and experience which will lay your foundation in the industry.

Education is an equaliser to access opportunities.

Be authentic. Women have their own unique set of perspectives that are valuable in the industry.

Therefore, be audacious and speak up constantly even when your voice is shaking.

Continuously show your expertise and professionalism to gain peer respect. Network and seek

mentorship from other women in the industry.

Have the courage to face rejection and use this rejection to build yourself. Create a table for

yourself if a chair on the table is not being pulled for you. Do not wait for opportunities to be

created for you, create them for yourself.

9) On International Women’s Day, what actionable steps can organizations like

KPDA take to contribute to a more inclusive and supportive environment

for women within the sector?

Bring more women to the table as leaders and decision makers to drive the agenda within the

sector and increase their representation in the business value chain and ladder.

By: Phoebe Maganjo Managing Director, A-List Real Estate

1 ) This year’s theme is “Inspiring Inclusion”. As a career woman, what does that

mean to you?

The theme "Inspiring Inclusion" resonates deeply with me. It's not just a catchphrase; it embodies

a vision I strive to uphold in both my personal and professional life.

Being a career woman means more than just excelling in my field. It means actively working to

create an environment where everyone feels valued and included, regardless of their background,

gender, or any other factor.

It means recognizing the unique strengths and perspectives that each individual has and having a

voice in the decision-making processes.

It's about fostering a culture of respect, empathy, and understanding, where differences are not

deal breakers.

2 ) How has being a woman influenced your experience

in the property development industry?

I am aware of the disparities and biases that exist within the

industry. However, I've learned to leverage my strengths, such as

communication, empathy, and attention to detail, to my advantage.

This has allowed me to connect with clients on a deeper level. I

find that many individuals feel more comfortable working with

someone who understands their needs and concerns.I have

largely embraced collaboration on projects with professionals in

the built industry. This has helped me build strong relationships

and trust with my clients, which is essential in the property space.

Phoebe Maganjo

Managing Director, A-List Real Estate


uestions:

3 ) Can you share a specific example where your gender presented challenges or

barriers in your career journey?

There have been instances where I have felt underestimated or overlooked simply because of my

gender.

One particular instance stands out in my career. It occurred during a meeting with potential investors

I was representing who were looking for land for development.

As I entered the meeting room, I immediately noticed that I was the only woman in that meeting .

Despite my extensive preparation and knowledge of the property being sold, I could sense a

subtle exclusion of my input by both parties in the room .

Looking back, I feel so proud of myself because I persevered through all the negotiation stages of

the transaction. Eventually our company was selected as one of the exclusive agents for the

development that now stands as beautiful villas and townhouses in the upmarket area of Lavington.

4 ) In what ways have you championed

inclusivity and diversity within your

professional sphere?

At A-list Real Estate we endeavour to foster an

environment where everyone feels valued and

respected. We prioritize open communication,

mutual respect, and collaboration, ensuring

that every team member has a voice and feels

empowered to contribute their ideas and

perspectives.

I advocate for equal opportunities for advancement

and career development, regardless of

gender, ethnicity, or background. I support

initiatives such as mentorship programs and

training opportunities that help to level the

playing field and provide pathways for growth

for all employees.

5 ) Have you encountered any instances

where your perspective as a woman

brought unique insights or solutions

to a project or problem?

Absolutely. There have been numerous

instances. As a real estate agent, I am on the

ground and this gives me an understanding of

the needs of our clients. We collaborate with

developers and architects to consider what

homeowners want and need.

One notable example occurred during the

planning phase of a residential development

project aimed at creating affordable housing

options for families. As part of the planning

team, I emphasized the importance of considering

the specific needs and preferences of

women and families in the design and layout of

the housing units.

Drawing from my own experiences and conversations

with other women, I highlighted the

significance of features such as special rooms

like pantries and laundry spaces, ample storage

space, well-lit communal areas, and

child-friendly designs. These insights helped to

shape the design of the housing units in a way

that prioritised comfort, safety, and functionality

for residents, particularly women, and families.


uestions:

6 ) What strategies have you employed

to navigate and overcome gender

biases in the property development

sector?

By being assertive, factual and confident in my

abilities. In every project I undertake, I demonstrate

competence and self-assurance.

I also surround myself with a supportive

network of colleagues, mentors, and allies who

have been invaluable. Having people who

understand and advocate for my experiences

helps me feel empowered and validated in my

professional journey.

Additionally, I engage in networking opportunities

and seek out mentorship from industry

leaders, both male and female.

7 ) As a female leader, what initiatives

have you implemented to foster a

more inclusive work environment?

Being a wife and a mom, I recognize the importance

of work-life balance. I have implemented

flexible work arrangements such as remote

work options, flexible hours, and job sharing.

These arrangements help accommodate the

diverse needs of employees.

I have also developed a mentorship and sponsorship

program aimed at supporting career

development. This program pairs employees

with more experienced mentors who provide

guidance, advice, and advocacy to help them

advance in their careers.

As they say, your company is as good as your

employees so I train, mentor, and push my

employees to be better individuals in a holistic

way.

8 ) How do you envision the role of women evolving in the property development


As more women enter the industry and break through barriers, I expect to see a greater representation

of women in leadership positions within property development firms. This shift will bring diverse

perspectives to decision-making processes and contribute to more inclusive and innovative

approaches to project development.

Women continue to make strides in traditionally male-dominated areas of property development,

such as architecture, engineering, and construction management. With advancements in education

and training opportunities, women will excel in specialized fields and play key roles in shaping the

built environment.


uestions:

9 ) Can you highlight a project or collaboration where diversity and inclusion were

integral to its success?

Last year, I had the privilege of collaborating on fitting out a commercial space we had sourced for

a client setting up a call centre as their first branch in Africa.

Given a call centre required extensive hours of operation being a 24 hours time scheduled job, the

requirement was to adopt a holistic approach that considered physical design, employee well-being,

and operational efficiency.. This project was particularly special because it embodied the spirit

of inclusivity and brought together people from diverse backgrounds to create something truly

remarkable.

We curated an ergonomic workspace that ensured the call agents can work comfortably for

extended periods.One of the notable features of the call centre in their design, they put up washrooms

for people with disabilities in their fitted space and had a lactating room for mothers. Most

commercial spaces only curate male and female washrooms in their designs and rely on the building

developers to provide washrooms for PWD.

10) What advice would you offer to

young women entering the property

development field to navigate and

thrive in a male-dominated industry?

The property development field can be

demanding and competitive, but don't let obstacles

deter you.

The internet and social media spaces are

equalizers, Stay resilient, persevere through

setbacks, and remain focused on your

long-term goals.

Also, attend industry events, join professional

organizations, and actively network with

colleagues and potential clients. Building relationships

in the industry can open doors to new

opportunities and collaborations.

11 ) On International Women’s Day,

what actionable steps can organizations

like KPDA take to contribute to a more

inclusive and supportive environment

for women within the sector?

KPDA can take a central role in encouraging

gender diversity in leadership positions. Firstly,

develop and Implement policies and practices

that support the recruitment, retention, and

advancement of women in leadership roles

Secondly, recognize and celebrate the

achievements of women within the organization.

Highlight their contributions to the success

of projects, initiatives, and the overall growth of

the organization.

Lastly, it can encourage partnerships and

collaborations with women-owned businesses

in the property development sector. Provide

opportunities for women entrepreneurs to

showcase their skills and expertise through

projects and initiatives.

By: Sarah Mbwaya - co-founder and Managing Director of Aspectus Limited

Allow me to introduce myself for context as I answer the questions below.

My name is Sarah Mbwaya, an electrical engineer, energy specialist, board member and award-winning

renewable energy entrepreneur from Kenya. I am a co-founder and Managing Director of

Aspectus Limited, a successful women-owned and women-led award-winning Solar Energy Company

availing clean & sustainable energy solutions across Africa; I have been a system engineer in the past

and have sat (and still sit) on a few boards; All these being male-dominated with very few women

1. This year’s theme is “Inspiring Inclusion”. As a

career woman, what does that mean to you? Embracing,

recognizing & including women; giving them equal

opportunities (breaking the glass ceiling….)

2. How has being a woman influenced your experience

in the property development industry? – I have

had to understand myself as a women, understand the

opportunities available in the industry and come up

with unique strategies that take advantage of my

unique skills as women while paying attention to any

that may not work for me; I realized that I can succeed

the field by being a woman and recognizing and

taking advantage of the unique skills I have as women

e.g. nature and applying them into my career ; being

authentic

Sarah Mbwaya

Co-founder and Managing Director of Aspectus Limited

3. Can you share a specific example where your gender presented challenges or barriers in

your career journey? - many years ago, when I left college, I was a computer system engineer.

This involved going to customers place to repair their systems. At the time lady engineers were

very few if any and people had not seen a lady opening computers and putting them back. Every

time I got sent to client’s place, everyone in the client’s office stopped working to see this lady

repairing computers.


uestions:

This was just too much pressure and anxiety;

and yet I knew I could not fail. I always had to

prepare very well, understand the problems I

was going to solve, great scenarios because I

knew I could not fail. This situation was different

for my male colleagues. Over time

There is also a sense in which as woman in a

very technical field some write you off even

before you open your mouth. Preparation is

usually the key for me. Knowing my subject

matter and focusing on solving the client’s problems

has worked most of the time.

4. In what ways have you championed

inclusivity and diversity within your professional

sphere? Being an engineer, I have spoken to

young girls about STEM. I have done this by

speaking in schools and doing one on one or

group mentoring where I share my story so they

know they too can. I support the girl child especially

from disadvantaged backgrounds.

I am also the country chair of African Women in

Energy and power (AWEaP) a Non-profit organization

in over 22 countries established to accelerate

African women entrepreneurs’ participation

in the Power and Energy sector. Last year we

took four women entrepreneurs from Kenya for a

B2B mission to Istanbul Turkey to expose them

to the various technologies available and well as

introduce them to companies looking for agents

or projects to fund so they are in a better position

to take advantage of business opportunities

available.

5. Have you encountered any instances

where your perspective as a woman brought

unique insights or solutions to a project or problem?

Yes. my soft skills coupled with my technical

background helps me with communicating

value to my clients.

6. What strategies have you employed to

navigate and overcome gender biases in the

property development sector? Not being naïve

about the gender biases helps me in thinking

through things, being

aware of them and Taking them into account as I

prepare whether its for a meeting or something

else helps me be focused on the objectives and

goals and avoid the gender biases side shows.

Getting input and support from my male

colleagues helps me greatly as well

7. As a female leader, what initiatives have

you implemented to foster a more inclusive work

environment? Mentorship of younger women who

work with me. Encouraging them to aim higher

and giving them opportunities to do so. When

hiring if there are two candidates same score one

female one male I will go with the female most

times. Also ensuring for a similar position and

qualifications, the women are paid same pay scale

as their male counterparts.

8. How do you envision the role of women

evolving in the property development industry in

the coming years? I see more women getting

interested and taking up opportunities in the property

developments at all levels.

9. Can you highlight a project or collaboration

where diversity and inclusion were integral to its

success? Gender Inclusivity – The Lake Turkana

Wind Power Project had to incorporate initiatives

to promote gender inclusivity for its success. This

involved creating opportunities for women to

participate in the workforce, not only in traditional

roles but also in technical and managerial positions.

10. What advice would you offer to young

women entering the property development field to

navigate and thrive in a male-dominated industry?

It’s a challenging and yet very rewarding spaces.

One requires confidence, perseverance, constant

education and knowledge accusation; and

networking is a must!

11. On International Women’s Day, what

actionable steps can organizations like KPDA take

to contribute to a more inclusive and supportive

environment for women within the sector? Help

promote women owned business by giving them

speaking slots and show casing their businesses

Stella Muranguri-Managing Partner, MMW Advocates LLP

1. This year’s theme is “Inspiring Inclusion”. As a career woman, what does that

mean to you?

"Inspiring Inclusion" is about building a world where every woman, regardless of her race, ethnicity,

sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic, can thrive and contribute her talents fully

without fear of discrimination or exclusion. As a career woman, I play a crucial role in driving this

change and creating a more equitable and inclusive future for all by addressing the unique challenges

that women face in the workplace, whether it's breaking through glass ceilings, navigating

stereotypes, or balancing work and family responsibilities.

2. How has being a woman influenced your experience in the property development

industry?

Being a male dominated industry, I have faced discrimination and missed out on opportunities

because I am a woman. However, this has propelled me into advocating for equal opportunities and

championing for policies and inclusive practices that promote equal opportunities for women in the

industry. i.e. women in boards. This in turn has led to a spike in the number of women taking up

leadership roles within the space or joining organizations that are geared towards the real estate

sector growth.

3. Can you share a specific example where your gender presented challenges or

barriers in your career journey?

I notice subtle or overt biases from colleagues and superiors who may hold stereotypical views

about women's capabilities in leadership roles. Comments like "You're too emotional or too feminine

for this position" or "Let's have one of the guys handle this" undermine your authority and

contributions. This has consequently made most women miss out on opportunities to display their

unique talents and capabilities. Women can still excel at the workplace while being soft and feminine.

4. In what ways have you championed inclusivity and diversity within your professional

sphere?

Pioneering one the largest female led law firms within the legal space.

Actively supporting initiatives that increase the visibility and representation of women in various

aspects of the workplace. This includes encouraging women to take on speaking engagements,

panel discussions, and leadership roles at conferences, industry events, and internal meetings.


uestions:

By highlighting women's expertise, achievements, and contributions, we help combat gender

stereotypes and bias while inspiring other women to pursue leadership positions and visibility

opportunities.

Consequently, fostering leadership qualities by assigning high-profile projects and inclusion in

decision making processes allowing their voices and perspectives to be heard and valued at all

levels of the organization.

5. Have you encountered any instances where your perspective as a woman

brought unique insights or solutions to a project or problem?

In a product design project, my understanding of women's experiences and preferences led to

the creation of products that better meet their needs. For instance, when developing software for

case management or workplace productivity, my insight into factors like user interface design,

accessibility features, and workflow management from a female perspective resulted in more

inclusive and user-friendly designs. It could be from as simple as the user-interface outlook and

presentation i.e., colors or beautiful pop-up notifications to as complicated as work-life balance

where for example “single-moms” are allowed to clock out earlier.

Approaching leadership from a nurturing angle rather than the “combative & conventional aggressiveness”

which has consequently led to optimum results of a team.

Awareness of potential barriers or challenges women may encounter, can inform the development

of features or functionalities aimed at promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion within the

workplace.

6. What strategies have you employed to navigate

and overcome gender biases in the property

development sector?

Initiating female led conversations and holding webinars

in a bid to sensitize the public on the intricacies of

property management and development and equally

organizing legal aids where we offer “free” legal advice

to the public. This demonstrates that women are

thought leaders in the property sector.

This shifts the mindset from the perception that property

matters are only a men’s’ preserve.

7. As a female leader, what initiatives have you

implemented to foster a more inclusive work

environment?

As a leader and team member, my interpersonal skills

and emotional intelligence may contribute to fostering a

supportive and collaborative team environment. My

ability to empathize, communicate effectively, and build

relationships can help create a culture of trust and

inclusion where everyone feels valued and empowered

to contribute their ideas and perspectives.

I have equally pioneered mandatory team bonding

activities where we get to have interactions beyond the

legal work. i.e. hiking


uestions:

8. How do you envision the role of women evolving in the property development


Women embodying “mother nature” are the champions of sustainability and social responsibility.

This will be implemented by being the catalyst of ecofriendly construction, energy efficiency, and

ethical investing acts to develop a green and sustainable real estate business by championing the

use of sustainable materials and resources thereby reducing the environmental degradation.

9. Can you highlight a project or collaboration where diversity and inclusion were

integral to its success?

Project: Corporate Event/ Annual company Event

Key Elements of Diversity & Inclusion:

1) Diverse speaker Line-up to include a wide range of perspectives

2) Inclusive program design to allow Networking

3) Proper representation in Marketing and Promotion

4) Accessibility considerations e.g., wheelchair ramps, elevators etc.

5) Diverse vendor and supplier selection

10. What advice would you offer to

young women entering the property

development field to navigate and

thrive in a male-dominated industry?

Be bold, work on the skill, take on leadership

and decision making positions within the

industry.

Seek out mentorship from the female industry

players who have successfully navigated the

space.

11. On International Women’s Day,

what actionable steps can organizations

like KPDA take to

contribute to a more inclusive and

supportive environment for women

within the sector?

Be mindful of our own biases and actively

challenge them. Question stereotypes and

assumptions, and strive to treat everyone with

respect and dignity regardless of their background

or identity.

Intentionally create opportunities and spaces

for women to interact and grow within the real

estate space i.e. events, workshops, holidays


“Have Your Say”

As urban populations continue to swell, the challenge of providing affordable housing has never

been more urgent. This critical issue not only calls for immediate action but also demands innovative

thinking and collaboration across various sectors.

In exploring the future of affordable housing, we delve into policy perspectives, financing models,

sustainable design practices, and community-centered approaches, aiming to uncover solutions

that balance economic prosperity with environmental sustainability and social equity.

The Role of Policy in Shaping Affordable Housing

Recent developments, such as Kenya's Affordable Housing Bill, 2023, demonstrate the pivotal role

policy plays in addressing housing needs. By introducing a housing levy set at 1.5% of gross salary

or income, the bill aims to provide access to affordable units while also establishing a new Affordable

Housing Fund.

Despite controversies and opposition, such

legislative measures signify a strong governmental

commitment to tackling housing shortages,

albeit the success of these policies

hinges on their implementation and the public's

reception.

On 19th of March, President Ruto passed the

bill to become law paving the way for the

government to fully focus on its promise to

Kenyans.

However, affordable housing is not a new

concept in Kenya. The previous government

had also tried to implement a similar project

with little success.

Financing Models: The Key to Unlocking Affordable Housing

Financing remains a central hurdle in the development of affordable housing. The Kenya Mortgage

Refinance Company's (KMRC) initiative to offer affordable mortgages with interest rates significantly

lower than the industry average illustrates an innovative approach to overcoming this barrier.


“Have Your Say”

By targeting middle-income earners and partnering with banks, the KMRC seeks to make home

ownership more accessible, setting a precedent for similar models globally that could bridge the

gap between housing demand and supply.

Recently, they increased the loan limit from KSh 8 million to Ksh 10.5 million allowing borrowers to

have more options in terms of apartments and houses on offer.

Sustainable Design: A Cornerstone

for the Future

Sustainable design practices offer a promising

avenue for developing affordable housing that

is not only cost-effective but also environmentally

responsible. Integrating renewable energy

sources, utilizing sustainable materials, and

designing for efficiency can reduce long-term

costs for residents and minimize the environmental

impact of new developments.

The challenge lies in making these sustainable

practices standard in affordable housing projects

without significantly driving up initial costs.

One prime example is the house built for

Kelvin Kiptum’s family following his death. The

government built a 3 bedroom house in a

week. This actually proved that construction

can be done efficiently, on time, and using

practices that are sustainable.

Community-Centered Approaches:

Building More Than Houses

At the heart of affordable housing lies the

concept of community. Beyond the construction

of physical structures, there's a growing

recognition of the importance of building communities

that support social cohesion, accessibility,

and inclusivity. This means designing

spaces that promote interaction, ensuring

access to essential services, and involving

residents in the planning process.

Such examples include developments such as

Tatu City and Tilisi. Tatu City, a multi-use

development in Ruiru and Tilisi, a similar

development in Limuru, have approached their

residential developments with this approach in

mind, providing green spaces, recreational

areas, entertainment spots and so much more.


“Have Your Say”

Compared to residential areas in places like Kilimani or Westlands where buildings are erected

without proper urban planning, these multi-use developments provide a better living environment for

its residents as they focus on a community first approach.

The future of affordable housing depends on our ability to create environments that cater to the

diverse needs of communities.

Conclusion: Navigating Challenges, Embracing Opportunities

The path to widespread, affordable housing is fraught with challenges, from financial constraints

and policy hurdles to the need for sustainable and inclusive design.

Yet, within these challenges lie opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and progress. By drawing

on the lessons from initiatives like Kenya's housing policies and the KMRC's financing models,

stakeholders across the globe can develop strategies that not only meet the immediate housing

needs but also contribute to the long-term vitality of communities.

The future of affordable housing requires a multifaceted approach, one that balances the needs of

the environment, economy, and society. As we move forward, it is crucial that we continue to

explore and implement solutions that will make affordable, sustainable, and inclusive housing a

reality for all.

Perspectives on the Future of Affordable Housing

By: Marjorie Kivuva-Partner in charge of Real Estate & Finance, Tarra Agility Africa

Marjorie Kivuva

According to the UN-Habitat, the proportion of Africa’s population living in urban areas will hit 60%

by 2050. In South Africa, urbanization stands at 68%. This number stands at 53% in Nigeria, 54%

in Ghana and 43% in Egypt. This rapid urbanization is putting immense pressure on cities across

the African continent to provide adequate housing and infrastructure that supports large scale

housing investments such as water, roads, sewerage, electricity, social and recreational space.

In Kenya, 60% of the urban population resides in informal settlements reflecting the severe shortage

of decent and affordable housing. The housing needs and demands will continue to grow in the

coming years, driven by factors such as population growth, urbanization, and limited supply of new

housing units. Kenya has an annual housing demand of 250,000 units but only an estimated 50,000

units are supplied. Addressing this issue requires concerted efforts from the government and industry

players.

A major issue impacting the affordable housing economic environment in Kenya is capital costs

which are mainly influenced by monetary and fiscal policies. Both monetary and fiscal policy are

macroeconomic tools used to manage or stimulate the economy. Some of the capital costs that

have been shrinking investment into affordable housing by real estate developers include increasing

land prices, construction costs, tax levies and rates.

The cost of land in Kenya’s capital city and urban hot spot, Nairobi, has been on an upward trajectory

after Covid - 19. The average price per acre in the suburbs has now crossed the KES. 200

million mark, influenced by fast rise of prices in the satellite towns influenced by a mix of affordability,

ease of access and mixed-use zoning. Similarly, in Ghana, the location, size, and quality of the

property all influence how much it costs to buy land. In urban areas, where space is limited and

demand high, prices can be higher than rural areas where plots are much larger and more affordable.

It’s important to note that the market for real estate varies from place to place. In urban areas,

where space is limited and demand high, prices can be higher than rural areas where plots are

much larger and more affordable. One of the policy recommendations would be to develop and

implement sustainable urban plans that prioritize efficient land use and improved public transportation

and eco-friendly infrastructure.


“Have Your Say”

On the fiscal side, Kenyan law grants a real estate developer in residential housing a 50% corporate

tax cut where they construct 100 residential units within a year. This tax rebate applies to all

real estate developers and not just those in the affordable housing space. Further, in the affordable

housing arena, a strategic affordable housing partner can access a 16% Value Added Tax exemption

on the purchase of both local and imported construction materials and fittings. These tax

rebates and exemptions have the potential to transform the financial viability of a real estate project.

When well utilized, these tax exemptions can spur an injection of both local and foreign capital into

the real estate sector in Kenya, closing the housing gap within a decade. To stimulate demand, a

stamp duty exemption is available to first time home buyers purchasing units within an affordable

housing scheme. We have also seen real estate developers taking advantage of special economic

zones which offer tax reliefs in the housing sector.

A key issue that has to be addressed is lowering the cost of financing the purchase of houses by

partnering with relevant stakeholders to make financing available at affordable rates. Policy recommendations

would look like deepening the formal credit market to foster access to different financial

products that can be used by households to overcome shrinking purchasing power. Commercial

banks and other financial institutions need to redesign their loans to offer products that are more

responsive to challenges encountered by households when faced with income shocks. In addition,

greater financial literacy could raise households’ awareness and shift towards formal finance. We

believe that the model adopted by Kenya Mortgage Refinancing Corporation where they fund

primary lenders to onward lend to borrowers provides much needed capital, particularly to first time

home buyers looking to get onto the property ladder.

In conclusion, the provision of affordable housing in Kenya requires a multifaceted Government

intervention and private sector approach to be successful. Government intervention in making the

market work by creating a favorable economic and policy environment for private-sector investment.

Unlocking Access: The Imperative Of

Affordable Housing In Kenya

By Rohit Pandit - Managing Director of SkyHigh Developers

“Have Your Say”

Introduction:

In the bustling corridors of Kenya's urban centers and the tranquil

outskirts of rural communities, a shared aspiration resonates deeply

among its citizens – the dream of owning a home. In this article, we

delve into the importance of affordable housing in Kenya.

By Rohit Pandit

Managing Director of SkyHigh Developers

Understanding the Challenge:

Rapid urbanization, population growth, and limited access to financing exacerbate this shortfall,

placing immense strain on existing housing stock and driving up rental costs.

The Economic Imperative:

Affordable housing is not just a social imperative but also an economic one. Access to stable housing

stimulates economic growth by creating jobs, stimulating demand for goods and services, and

attracting investment. Homeownership fosters a sense of pride and responsibility among citizens,

encouraging them to invest in their communities and contribute to their development. Moreover,

affordable housing promotes financial inclusion, enabling individuals to build assets, access credit,

and secure their financial futures.

Innovative Solutions:

Addressing the affordable housing challenge requires innovative solutions that transcend traditional

approaches. Public-private partnerships, for instance, can leverage the strengths of both sectors to

unlock financing, streamline regulatory processes, and accelerate project delivery.


“Have Your Say”

It is important for the Government to have Industry leading experts to advise and guide them to

create a successful business module for the affordable housing projects. One fine example of a

successful housing module is the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) of Mumbai, India. The SRA

identifies lands with high density slums and partners with local developers to build two type of

housing components, one component is affordable houses which are allotted free of cost to the

slum dwellers in the existing land as well as sold in the open market, the second component is

mid-level and high-end apartments which are sold in the open market by the developers to recover

their investment and make profits. A similar module can work very well in areas like Kibera & Kwangare.

Creating a dedicated body with leading industry experts in the panel can prove to be beneficial

for such type of projects.

Technology also plays a crucial role, enabling the digitization of land records, streamlining mortgage

applications, and expanding access to housing finance through mobile banking solutions.

Moreover, alternative construction methods and materials offer opportunities to reduce costs,

increase efficiency, and scale up housing production to meet growing demand.

The Role of Policy: Policy intervention is principal in creating an enabling environment for affordable

housing development. the government of Kenya has been proactive in creating an enabling environment

for affordable housing development through policy interventions that aim to incentivize

private sector investment, address the specific needs of vulnerable populations, and streamline

regulatory processes. These efforts are crucial and valued for ensuring access to adequate and

affordable housing for all citizens.

Building Sustainable Communities: At its core, affordable housing is not just about providing shelter

but also about building communities where individuals can thrive. Sustainable design principles,

such as energy efficiency, green spaces, and mixed-use development, promote health and well-being

while minimizing environmental impact. Community engagement and participation ensure that

housing projects are tailored to the needs and aspirations of residents, fostering a sense of belonging

and social cohesion.

Government program initiative: Example of the ambitious Boma Yangu.


“Have Your Say”

In the dynamic landscape of Kenya's real estate sector, the quest for affordable housing stands as

a defining challenge and opportunity. Amidst this backdrop, the government of Kenya has launched

the ambitious Boma Yangu initiative, aimed at addressing the housing deficit and promoting homeownership

among low- and middle-income earners. In this article, we explore the significance of the

Boma Yangu Initiative and its impact on Kenya's affordable housing agenda.

Understanding the Boma Yangu

Initiative:

The Boma Yangu Initiative, is a flagship

program under Kenya's Affordable Housing

Program (AHP). Its primary objective is to

facilitate the construction of affordable homes

for Kenyan citizens, with a focus on providing

quality housing units at affordable prices.

Through partnerships with both public and

private sector stakeholders, the initiative aims

to streamline the process of accessing affordable

housing and promote inclusive homeownership

across the country.

Key Components of the Initiative:

The prime fundamental to the Boma Yangu

Initiative is the provision of affordable housing

through various mechanisms, including the

construction of new housing units, the renovation

of existing structures, and the allocation of

serviced land for development. The initiative

offers incentives such as tax breaks, subsidies,

and financing options to developers, making it

financially viable to undertake affordable housing

projects. Additionally, the Boma Yangu

Initiative emphasizes the importance of sustainable

design practices, energy efficiency,

and environmental conservation in all housing

developments.

Impact on Affordable Housing:

Since its inception, the Boma Yangu Initiative

has made significant strides in advancing

Kenya's affordable housing agenda. Through

strategic partnerships with local governments,

developers, and financial institutions, the

initiative has facilitated the construction of

thousands of affordable housing units across

the country. By leveraging innovative financing

models and streamlining regulatory

processes, the initiative has accelerated the

pace of housing delivery, bringing the dream

of homeownership within reach of thousands

of Kenyan families.

Empowering Homebuyers:

One of the key features of the Boma Yangu

Initiative is its focus on empowering homebuyers

through access to information, financial

literacy programs, and homeownership education.

Through platforms such as the Boma

Yangu Portal, aspiring homeowners can

access information about available housing

options, eligibility criteria, and financing opportunities.

Additionally, the initiative provides

support for individuals navigating the homebuying

process, including legal assistance,

mortgage counseling, and dispute resolution

services.

Promoting Inclusivity and Equity:

A cornerstone of the Boma Yangu Initiative is its commitment to promoting inclusivity and equity in

housing access. By targeting vulnerable populations, including women, youth, persons with disabilities,

and informal sector workers, the initiative seeks to address systemic barriers to housing affordability

and promote social inclusion. Through targeted interventions such as the Inua Jamii cash

transfer program and the Ajira Digital initiative, the Boma Yangu Initiative aims to uplift marginalized

communities and provide them with opportunities for socioeconomic advancement.


“Have Your Say”

As Kenya's real estate sector continues to evolve, the Boma Yangu Initiative stands as a beacon of

hope and progress in the quest for affordable housing. By harnessing the collective efforts of government,

private sector stakeholders, and civil society organizations, the initiative has laid the

groundwork for a more inclusive and equitable housing landscape. As we look towards the future,

let us build upon the successes of the Boma Yangu Initiative and continue to strive towards a

Kenya where every citizen has access to safe, decent, and affordable

Private Sector and Financial

Institution

Private Sector and Financial Institutions

are facilitating Access to Affordable

Housing. Kenya is privileged in securing

the trust and support of prestigious

development banks and financial institutions

in financing the housing sector.

The private sector and financial institutions

play a role as well in facilitating

access to affordable housing for Kenyan

citizens. Through collaboration with the government and other stakeholders, they contribute to the

development and financing of affordable housing projects across the country.

Private Sector Partnerships:

Private developers bring expertise, resources,

and innovation to affordable housing projects.

By partnering with the government and financial

institution, they can leverage their

strengths to streamline construction processes,

reduce costs, and increase the supply of

affordable housing units. These partnerships

can also involve corporate social responsibility

initiatives where private companies invest in

housing projects as part of their commitment to

community development.

Financial Institutions:

Banks, microfinance institutions, and other

financial entities are essential in providing

financing options for aspiring homeowners.

Mortgage loans, housing microfinance, and

other innovative financial products enable

individuals to purchase homes and invest in

their futures. Financial institutions also play a

crucial role in supporting developers by providing

construction loans and project financing,

thus facilitating the development of affordable

housing projects.

Public-Private Partnerships:

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are instrumental

in addressing the affordability gap in

housing. By pooling resources and expertise,

PPPs can overcome challenges such as land

acquisition, infrastructure development, and

regulatory hurdles. These partnerships create

win-win scenarios where the private sector

gains opportunities for investment while fulfilling

a social responsibility to provide affordable

housing. Governments can incentivize private

sector involvement through tax incentives,

land subsidies, and streamlined regulatory

processes.


“Have Your Say”

Conclusion :

In the pursuit of a more just and equitable society, affordable housing stands as a linchpin, bridging

the gap between aspiration and reality. By unlocking access to safe, decent, and affordable housing,

we empower individuals, strengthen families, and build stronger, more resilient communities.

As we navigate the complexities of urbanization and development, let us seize the opportunity to

reimagine housing as not just a commodity but a fundamental human right – one that is within

reach of all African Citizens.

Let's talk about Contech

By Michael Kaniu

Simply this is the tech used not only in construction technology but how we procure and consume

construction material using tech and collaborate in the construction project lifecycle and is a subset

of property technology (Proptech)

In Kenya, these solutions have been here for a while but for some reason, we still build traditionally

which I attribute to exposure of what’s here locally and the trust of suppliers to walk the talk.

Some examples from our KPDA members include:

1. Kwangu Kwako Ltd with their wall panel and

hollow block materials.

2. Kumkang Kind Co Ltd with their aluminum

formwork construction tech.

3. 14 Trees in Africa's largest 3D-printed affordable

housing project in Kilifi.

Figure 3: Mvule Gardens, Kilifi by 14 Trees

Other construction solutions, block, and

beam, pre-cast, post-tension slabs,

pre-fabs, etc.

I am not sure people remember Yaya

Center Mall’s parking being built like

Lego with prefab members or Strathmore

buildings having a case study on construction

savings using post-tension

technology and other methods.

I usually make fun of the most widely

accepted technology that happened in

the last 20 years in our Kenyan construction

industry that happened during the

pandemic….it was called “Zoom”!

When it comes to affordable housing, these new technologies can be employed to build faster,

more precisely and in the long term economically.

Below are other examples of alternative building methods and materials for single-dwelling homes

available in Kenya.

Building Technology:

• Prefab homes

• Straw bale homes

• Pre-cast panel homes

• 3D printed homes

• Used tire homes

• Container homes

• Log homes

• Scandinavian pods

• Bamboo homes

• Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Panels

• Light gauge steel framing (LGSF)

Alternative sustainable materials: (Courtesy KGBS)

• Rammed earth

• Burnt Bricks

• Stabilized Soil Blocks

• Recycled Plastic Blocks

• Recycled Plastic Roofing Sheets

Some of these are affordable, some not, and others are plug-and-play i.e. you can hire a company

to deliver onsite a house at a fixed price in a few weeks. (Building approvals may be applicable in

some)


“Have Your Say”

Of these, the quickest and fastest technology is light gauge steel framing (LGSF) as evidenced in

the 7-day construction of the Late World Marathon record holders Kiptum’s family home.

As the above technologies and alternative materials are considered, the Iron Triangle in construction

ultimately decides the route one takes.

The premise is, simple, you can only pick two between Cost, Quality, and Time i.e.

• Good Quality & Speed = Expensive

• Good Quality & Lower cost = Slow

• Cheap & Fast = Poor quality

In Kenya, we try to beat the system by implementing speed on low-quality materials and the results

are clear as day.

Generally, construction technology (Contech) is faster but not necessarily cheaper.

To put this in perspective, you can technically build 1,000 apartments in 1 year using tech like

aluminum formwork.

The question is, will people pay you quicker at a higher price?
