Faced with the continent’s growing housing needs, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) has confirmed its commitment to the issue by contributing almost $9m to a dedicated fund in South Africa. Focused specifically on affordable housing for students, the Momentum Student Accommodation Impact Fund (MSAIF) is targeting the construction of 10,000-15,000 bedrooms in various South African cities, amounting to some ten projects located near universities or training centres. The totality of the funds, R 2bn according to our sources, will be invested over the next seven years.
