HOUSING for SDGs - Synthesis : Access to housing for the achievement of sustainable development goals

Housing is obviously a lever for action to achieve SDG11 on Sustainable Cities, but it is just as important for several other SDGs.

In 2023, AFD and Agence Phare carried out a literature review highlighting the major role of housing in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which goes well beyond the subject of Sustainable Cities.

The study established a direct impact between access to housing, improved housing conditions and ten SDGs. This booklet presents a summary of this research. The full report is available on the AFD website.
