Felix N. Hammond and Yaw Adarkwah Antwi

Chapter 4 in Economic Analysis of Sub-Saharan Africa Real Estate Policies, 2010, pp 73-100 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As discussed in the first two chapters, the quest for poverty alleviation and economic development in Africa is now a matter of international concern. Yet, extant policies that continue to dictate proceedings in real estate sectors of most African nations have been constructed in a way that concentrate benefits and wealth on a few while spreading costs and poverty over a larger segment of the population.
