The MENA Housing Forum is part of a global series of housing forums organized by Habitat for Humanity in collaboration with partner organizations in different regions of the world. Here is our program of sessions and discussions promoting a common vision towards inclusive and sustainable housing for all, across the MENA region.

The MENA Housing Forum took place for three days between November 21st and 23rd bringing together over 200 participants (including over 80 speakers) from over 20 countries. The forum was a hybrid event, with the in-person components taking place at the Cairo Marriott Hotel in Cairo, Egypt, and the virtual components taking place through the Whova virtual events platform.
