Uganda
One of our priority countries, Reall has been operating in Uganda and pursuing a commercial approach since 2014.
With over two-thirds of Ugandans living in sub-standard housing, the country’s housing need is great. Uganda’s urban population growth is rapid, particularly in major cities such as Kampala.
In 2016, Reall collaborated with the Uganda Cooperative Alliance (UCA) to establish Enterprise Housing Development Uganda (EHDU), with a mandate to provide affordable housing to low income Ugandans. EHDU’s first project is in Lira, a town in northern Uganda.
In 2020, Reall approved a partnership with Smart Havens, a social enterprise building climate-smart homes made for people living on low incomes in Uganda. Using innovative compressed earth bricks as a green alternative to conventional concrete, and with an emphasis on empowering women and vulnerable people, Smart Havens are working to expand their model across Uganda.

Market Shaping Indicators: Key Indicators
The lack of market intelligence and data is a key constraint undermining private sector participation and good policy engagement in affordable housing.
A joint initiative of the Centre for Affordable Housing Finance in Africa (CAHF) and Reall, the MSIs aim to bridge this gap by making key market data available to all that need it.
