Abstract
This study examines the constraints on the housing sector in Afghanistan. It evaluates government policy on housing, looks at the state of housing finance, and examines legal and regulatory barriers with a bearing on the housing market. The report provides policy recommendations aimed at helping to develop a private-sector led housing market. To assist in formulating policies and implementing actions, the study recommends forming a housing finance task force under the sponsorship of the government. Such a task force can help foster wider discussion among the government, financial institutions, microfinance institutions, nongovernmental organizations, civil society, and other stakeholders.
