Abstract: Abstract The present note attempts to provide a cursory review of some of the main housing problems facing the African continent and of the major policy issues involved. Within the limits of brevity imposed by the organizers of the conference, it will not be possible to substantiate any of the statements of this paper with statistical evidence or with bibliographical references. However, the note is based on the numerous studies carried out by the secretariat of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, to whose documents the interested reader might refer for further details.
