Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) Jobs 2024
Habitat
for Humanity is the world’s largest affordable housing civil society
organization. With programs in more than 70 countries and thousands of
communities, our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to
live. Habitat works collaboratively with communities, government, and
the private sector to find housing solutions. We are recognized for the
meaningful change our programs have in communities. However, we
recognize that the housing deficit is far greater than what any one
organization can accomplish on its own. To that end, we are building our
capability to influence the broader systems that affect access to
housing to ensure greater access to affordable, resilient housing for
all.
Habitat for Humanity Tanzania (HFHT)
Habitat for
Humanity Tanzania (HFHT) founded in 1986, it is affiliated to Habitat
for Humanity International (HFHI). HFHT currently implement its program
through partners in three geographical locations: Dar es Salaam, Dodoma,
and Arusha region with plans to expand to Pwani region in the near
future. Habitat for Humanity Tanzania’s work focus on bringing people
together to build community, families, homes and hope for the low-income
families. We do our work based on Four Housing Programming Pillars:
Affordability, Habitability, Basic Services and Land Tenure.
Housing Deficit background information
Habitat
for Humanity Tanzania exist to collaborate with other Housing actors to
address the housing deficit challenges, this is because the housing
sector is marred by several pressing issues, each with far-reaching
consequences for the country’s residents. There are many challenges
existing in Tanzania that need joint efforts to address them. HFHT has
supported various research/study to ensure there are evidence-based need
outlines for the government and other stakeholders to collectively
respond/address to the challenges.
According to Housing
Eco-System study report (May 2022) the following challenges were
highlighted: Housing deficit***:*** The report highlights that the
magnitude of housing deficit is still substantial. Housing and overall
wellbeing of low-income households: Access to decent and affordable
housing for most low-income households is still a critical challenge,
particularly in urban areas. Housing
affordability: Despite the notable efforts to enhance housing
affordability in Tanzania, there are still challenges. It is widely
observed that public housing providing institutions have so far failed
to provide affordable housing as their responsibility, mainly because of
high production costs. Lack of basic services (WASH and Energy): Access
to basic services like WASH (water, sanitation & hygiene) is a
challenge for both rural and urban community settings.
The
review clearly revealed the presence of a sizable proportion without
basic access to safe water, inadequate sanitation coverage among towns
and cities. Saving culture and access to housing: Tanzania has a low
saving rate, where about 48% of adults do not save, and for those that
save, only a small proportion (11%) save in a formal financial
institution. For low-income households, the majority are served by less
formal financial institutions such as Savings and Credit Cooperatives
(SACCOs), Savings and Credit Associations (SACAs), Rotating Credit and
Savings Associations (ROSCAs) and other microfinance institutions
(MFIs). Although less formal financial institutions are important for
mobilizing grassroots-level saving and borrowing that can be used for
housing finance by low and middle-income households in Tanzania, their
potential is yet to be fully used.
According to (MLHHSD, 2018),
urbanization in Tanzania is another challenge**.** The national housing
deficit is currently estimated to be 3,000,000 million units, increasing
by 200,000 annually About 40% of this deficit is estimated to be in
urban areas, as urban population is 35% of the total population which
current is 67 million.
Housing microfinance: As per Housing
Microfinance Study report (2023), Tanzanian Low-Middle Income Households
are suffering from a shortage of loan to either build or improve their
homes. In addition, the housing microfinance space in Tanzania is
relatively underdeveloped as stated in the Housing Eco-System in
Tanzania report (2022). The report further states that available
statistics indicate there is a high demand for housing microfinance
products (about TZS 700 billion) compared to supply, however this
excludes most low-income households. The shortage of loan comes due to
the status the Low-Middle Income families have, they can neither access
nor afford housing finance to improve their homes.
Land tenure
security: In parallel, the housing sector in Tanzania faces a persistent
challenge in the form of land tenure insecurity. This issue affects
both urban and rural areas, casting uncertainty over the property rights
of individuals and communities. In urban settings, land tenure
insecurity fosters problems such as land grabbing and forced evictions,
further exacerbating the issue of informal settlements and slums. It’s a
cycle that perpetuates substandard housing conditions and
socio-economic challenges, especially for those without secure land
rights.
Habitat for Humanity Tanzania is seeking qualified consultants to facilitate the development of our next strategic plan.

our organization’s leadership to develop a consolidated strategic plan.
