Description:
In Tanzania, IFC aims to improve access for housing for low-income Tanzanians. For that purpose, IFC intends to pilot inTanzania an innovative Housing Microfinance (HMF) lending product. The product will be catering to the needs of most low-income residentsof Tanzania who live in single-family houses. These houses could be poorcondition, but people cannot afford to purchase new houses due to their limitedincome.

Such CTA may include preparation of Bills of Quantities (BOQs), costestimate and drawings, getting advice on technology, on selection of good qualityconstruction materials and on implementation of works.

The loan officers operated CTA tools pre-developed for that purpose byIFC. The CTA tools enabled loan officerswho are not experts in construction to provide valuable advice to potential HMFborrow...
