Africa Housing News is a specialist news organisation focused on the housing and built‑environment sector across Africa. Based in Abuja, it sits within Fesadeb Media Group, the network behind the Africa International Housing Show and Housing TV Africa. The newsroom publishes daily reporting and analysis on housing policy, affordable finance and mortgages, land administration, construction costs, property development and urban planning. It interviews ministers, regulators and chief executives, and runs explainers and market updates for practitioners. Its audience spans policymakers, developers, mortgage banks, architects, engineers, investors and civil‑society advocates who track regulation, financing and project pipelines. Coverage ranges from the macro—such as inflation and interest‑rate shifts that shape home ownership—to transaction‑level stories, major financing deals and profiles of emerging building methods. Africa Housing News also reports extensively on the annual Africa Housing Awards and the Affordable Housing Hall of Fame, chronicling companies and individuals driving sector change. As a media brand within Fesadeb’s ecosystem, it complements broadcast programming on Housing TV Africa and on‑the‑ground reporting around the Africa International Housing Show, offering year‑round journalism on the continent’s housing gap and the policies designed to close it. The outlet’s sustained, sector‑specific focus and pan‑African brief make it a reference point for decision‑makers seeking clarity on the region’s real‑estate and housing markets.
