Project Overview
The overall objective of this Project to support Shelter-Afrique in reviewing its Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Framework and policies. The specific aims include identifying the gaps, developing and adopting adequate tools for measuring and monitoring credit, market and operational risks within a defined ERM framework and in compliance with the Basel Accord recommendations and globally leading risk management standards.
Innovating Risk Management for Affordable Housing in Africa
Frankfurt School experts have equipped Shelter Afrique with cutting-edge risk management tools – from an operational risk event database to a housing finance rating methodology and a value-at-risk simulation tool for currency risk. These innovations strengthened Shelter Afrique’s risk management processes, enabling the institution to expand access to affordable, energy-efficient housing across Africa – and in doing so, foster job creation and sustainable growth.
