1. Strengthening political support for housing reforms
• Progress to address the institutional and regulatory ‘vacuum’ is uneven;
• Incomplete legislation (condominium management & mortgage), often delegating responsibilities to for social housing to the local government level;
• Ineffective rule enforcement, limited capacity for implementation of housing policy.
2. Establishing reliable and effective housing institutions
• Decenralisation & devolution of housing policy responsibilities; role of housing agencies & government mortgage finance
• Diverse and robust housing market institutions housing production & market intermediaries as well as informal market agents.
2. Establishing reliable and effective housing institutions
• Lack of adequate institutional capacity of public institutions; corruption& red tape;
• Lack of adequate resources at the local level to fulfil housing mandates;
• Lack of well established, transparent and efficient private sector institutions in housing.
3. Developing effective land administration & land management systems
• Land administration reforms (privatization & registration systems);
• Effective land-use planning to guide development (land with clear title, zoning regulation);
• Growth of informal cities, poverty & exclusion.

4. Mobilizing Housing Finance and Fiscal Support
The lack of financial transparency in
housing policy and fiscal sustainability, in
addition to low targeting reflect the
rudimentary nature of fiscal housing policies
in the region.
