The 5th Kenya Affordable Housing Conference, taking place from August 20th to 21st, 2026 at Lake Naivasha Resort in Nakuru County, will focus on scaling inclusive and sustainable housing solutions. KMRC CEO Johnstone Oltetia emphasized the conference's goal to address both the scale of the affordable housing challenge and the limitations in housing finance access for millions of Kenyans.
The conference will convene government leaders, financial institutions, developers, pension funds, SACCOs, development finance institutions, housing agencies, investors, policymakers, and global experts. Key topics include innovative financing models, land administration reforms, title regularisation, and improved land governance to accelerate delivery of affordable homeownership.
Discussions will cover expanding access to housing finance for informal workers, micro-entrepreneurs, SACCO members, and underserved populations. The programme will explore climate-resilient housing, green buildings, and the role of development finance institutions in mobilising capital and attracting private sector investment.
Sessions will delve into market intelligence, data-driven decision-making, technology and innovation in housing development, and successful housing finance systems from Japan, India, and South Africa. The conference will also highlight real-life impact stories of homeowners to ensure policy discussions remain grounded in the realities of Kenyan households.
The event will conclude with the inaugural Kenya Affordable Housing Awards recognizing leaders in expanding homeownership, sustainability, and customer experience in the housing sector.
