We are

a continental hub of smart innovations exclusively dedicated to driving “affordable housing”  in sub-Saharan Africa.

At AACON, we are turning the enormous insights and huge potentials of “affordable housing” into “concrete actions and “visible impacts.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

A Boundless Prowess For Visible Impact

We believe that “affordable housing”, properly conceptualised and driven, presents the fastest and most feasible opportunity for modern, quality home ownership for majority of working Africans.

With  home ownership at less than 20%, “affordable housing” is the main solution to the vast housing deficits in SSA countries and will continue to constitute the largest housing demand in Africa for the next 50 Years.

OUR COVERAGE

Our Landscape of Impact

The challenge of home ownership holds back more sub-Saharan African economies and the productivity of Africans living there than any other region or people in the world. 

Our coverage of activity and landscape of change exclusively covers the 43 countries of sub-Saharan Africa.

This challenge can be overcome in the next few decades and will help propel Africa into the orbit of modern progress with other continents.

OUR MISSION

To  transit housing in Sub-Saharan Africa to “PREDOMINANT HOME OWNERSHIP“.

our vision

An Empowered Africa, propelled to the frontlines

We have a vision of an Africa not held back by the incapacity of basic home ownership – where all working, active population own their homes individually or as a family unit; where the boost of home ownership capital propels the economies to thrive and  maximises the productivity of each African. This we believe is possible within the next couple of decades.

The Largest Aggregator and Main Driver

As an organisation, AACON aims to position the largest aggregator, main driver and biggest accelerator of affordable housing in sub-Saharan Africa.

At AACON, WE DO all the HEAVY-LIFTING 

 – the innovations, the big actions, the technology –

Our

Core Goals

&

Action Drivers

Amplify

Info Hub, Blog, Live Platforms, Newsletters, Magazines, Publications, Editorials, Features and Articles – Amplifying Industry Activities and Reputation to Frontline Status

Through the multiple channels under our Media & Info Hub, We are Amplifying  “Affordable Housing” to the frontlines, elevating from second class relegation to  “sought-after attractive”.

Deploying heavily the power of digital and traditional media to keep track of all information and happenings across the industry and ensure the highest and deepest dissemination to all crannies of the continent.

Proliferate

Pitch Partner, E-Model, C-Fi, H5-Matrix – providing ready supply of dynamic home options in abundance at all times for instant take-off.

Based on our philosophy of “The  GOLDEN RULE”, we are driving PROLIFERATION of SUPPLY with our ingenious strategy of FORWARD PROVISION.

Within stated windows, we will ensure abundant availability of homes on the ground for ready  acquisition off the shelf across the 47 countries of sub-Saharan Africa. 

Super-charge

Exclusive Listings, Trading Portal – Drive, enable and facilitate the best and major transactions and trading activities largely on a digitally-driven backbone

With out INNOVATIVE LISTING, TRADING PORTAL, PARTNERS EXCLUSIVE and other ingenious strategies, We are “Supercharging the market ecosystem” of  “Affordable Housing“ that delivers unprecedented premiums.

We are creating market structures that elevate its competitiveness and putting players at the heart of the market to transact at Premiums and get several steps ahead.

Enable

Enlistment of home ownership and intensive innovative facilitation  for easy steady acquisition. Institute Specifications for Designs & Quality, to maintain strict output standards and using ratings for decision-making.

We are enabling fast  acquisition of homes by active working Africans with ingenuous FRONTEND and BACKEND structures that guarantee seamless easy entry and provide a novel tailor-fit mortgage system as backbone for convenient and successful ownership.

Our strategies and work here will serve as the propellant for the much desired mortgage system to race sub-Saharan African countries to speedily achieving the VISIBLE IMPACT of predominant “home-owner” population.

Standar-dise

Institute and Maintain Specifications for Designs, Materials,  Prototypes, Quality, Planning etc to maintain strict output standards and using ratings for decision-making.

Evolving and Maintaining “DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONAL STANDARDS” for homes’  development and living facilities, amenities and conditions for universal adherence in affordable housing is at the core of our operations. 

The standards are enforced via a periodically published “Ratings” of the home providers (suppliers) and the respective estates with the goal to ensure that quality and dignified living conditions are permanent attributes of the bourgeoning home ownership.

Tech-celerate

Build, Deploy and Maintain tech infrastructure backbone for the hub, fully achieve 70%  digitization of processes and  transactions and be a primary platform for  partners to rely on

Technology is a common denominator across our strategy thrusts and action plans. We are going all-out on technology. 

From building custom apps to deploying virtual reality to smart communications, We spare no investment in bringing about a combination of  NOVEL DIGITAL INNOVATIONS that will catalyse ACTIONS speedily to visible impacts while representing our (Africa’s) leap forward in modern progress.

How We Do It

Our SET GOALS and TARGET IMPACTS

are achieved through the delivery framework of  our

MULTIPLE CHANNELS of ENGAGEMENT.

Our Delivery Framework

Our Channels of Engagement

Driving Principles

:

SIX principles that form the creative foundry of our ingenious solutions and drive the core of our target actions.

1.

ALL WORKING PERSONS DESERVE SELF-OWNED HOMES

2.

PRIVATE-SECTOR COMMERCIAL VIABILITY – YES.

3.

HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR HOME OWNERSHIP

4.

THE GOLD ACTION – PROLIFERATING SUPPLY.

5.

CLEAR DEFINITION AND EXCLUSIVE FOCUS

6.

AFFORDABLE HOUSINGN IS NOT SOCIAL HOUSING

1. EVERY ACTIVE WORKING PERSON DESERVES A SELF-OWNED HOME.
We believe every working person DESERVES to live (alone or with family) in a HOME that is SELF-OWNED.
2. "AFFORDABLE HOUSING" IS COMMERCIALLY VIABLE ON PRIVATE-SECTOR BASIS
We believe that “affordable housing” can be profitably run on a private-sector, market-driven basis without dependence on Government or compromise of quality.
3. "AFFORDABLE HOUSING" IS THE LARGEST HOUSING SEGMENT WITH THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR HOME OWNERSHIP
We believe that "affordable housing" is the largest housing segment and has the highest latent potential and widest latitude to accelerate home ownership to solve the vast housing deficit and achieve the goal of transiting housing from predominantly rental to predominantly ownership in SSA countries. 
4. PROLIFERATING SUPPLY IS THE GOLDEN RULE
We believe the main instrument of driving affordable housing is an ingenious crack of the problem of supply. Over the years, focus has variously intensified in may other areas like funding, mortgage, income, title, system, foreclosure and so on with the least focus on driving supply intensively.
5. "AFFORDABLE HOUSING" REQUIRES CLEAR DEFINITION AND ISOLATION FOR EXCLUSIVE FOCUS
IN REAL ESTATE, "AFFORDABLE" IS NOT A GENERAL PREFIX. The general appropriation of "affordable" to all classes of properties is a misnomer. The term "affordable" has been adulterated and reduced to its literal meaning for pure marketing purposes. In housing, "affordable" is a technical term exclusive to "AFFORDABLE HOUSING" only. We believe affordable housing needs to be clearly differentiated with its technical meaning and operational definition, and isolated away from the general property for exclusive focus.
6. "AFFORDABLE HOUSING" IS NOT SOCIAL HOUSING
We believe the low impact of "affordable housing" has largely been due to its false equivalence to "social housing". This has made practitioners and developers resign to the benevolence of Government and State Authorities. Social Housing is the exclusive responsibility of Government for the indigent and lowest class. "Affordable Housing" is for the actively engaged, self-sustaining working population who take responsibility for themselves and can obtain homes by themselves given the right enablement.
