Honouring Legacy, Partnership, and Purpose | Gala Dinner – 44th AGM
At the Shelter Afrique Development Bank Gala Dinner in Algiers, we paused to celebrate more than an event , we honoured the spirit of partnership, leadership and legacy that continues to shape our mission across the continent.
In a moment of gratitude, we presented special tokens of appreciation to individuals and institutions whose contributions have left a lasting impact. H.E. Mohamed Tarek Belaribi, Minister of Housing, Urban Planning and the City of Algeria, was recognised for his exemplary support and Algeria’s generous hosting of this year’s AGM.
We also paid tribute to the dedicated leadership of Mr. Ephraim Kiiza Bichetero and Dr. Jimmy Gasore, whose tenure as Board Member and AGM Bureau Chair respectively helped guide the institution through a transformative year.
A particularly moving moment was the recognition of the late Prince Ebenezer Oluseyi Lufadeju, the Bank’s second Managing Director. His legacy was honoured through his daughter, a quiet but powerful reminder that the work of building Africa’s housing future stands on the shoulders of those who came before us.
The evening was a celebration of continuity, resilience, and shared commitment to the continent’s urban transformation journey.

Dr. Aida Robbana electrified yesterday’s AGM by championing adequate housing as the bedrock of sustainable, equitable & resilient African cities—highlighting UN‑Habitat’s 2026–29 strategy to make housing a driver of dignity, opportunity & climate resilience.
Yesterday, at the 44th Annual General Meeting of Shelter Afrique Development Bank (ShafDB), Opening address of our symposium session @aidaro, representing the Executive Director of UN-Habitat, delivered a powerful keynote spotlighting the centrality of housing in building sustainable, inclusive, and resilient African cities.
Her address emphasized UN-Habitat’s strategic vision for 2026–2029, placing adequate housing, access to basic services and land security at the heart of climate resilience, social equity and economic opportunity. With over 1.1 billion people living in informal settlements, the urgency to act has never been greater.
Her call to action was clear: to transform housing from a deficit to a driver of urban dignity, prosperity, and environmental sustainability aligned with SDG 11 and the New Urban Agenda.

Shaping Africa’s Housing Future with Financial Sovereignty #ShafDBAGM2025
In his opening remarks at the 44th Annual General Meeting of Shelter Afrique Development Bank, held in Algiers, Algeria, our Managing Director @HannHabib delivered a powerful call to action: to anchor Africa’s housing sector in self-reliance, sustainability and sovereignty.
Addressing a distinguished audience that included ministers, heads of state institutions, and continental partners, Mr. Hann outlined ShafDB’s renewed commitment to innovative finance, climate-smart design and strategic public-private partnerships. From landmark bond issuances to pioneering regional housing diagnostics, the MD’s message was clear — Africa has the tools, the vision and the leadership to build homes that are not only affordable, but dignified and resilient.
“Financial sovereignty in housing is not a dream—it is an imperative,” he said, reaffirming the Bank’s mission to mobilize African capital, unlock local markets and build inclusive, climate-conscious urban futures.
