The Development Bank of Namibia (DBN) views availability of serviced land and affordable housing as a core requirement for social development of Namibia.
To foster serviced land and affordable housing, the Bank provides finance to local authorities, PPPs (public private partnerships), private sector developers and contractors.

Among others, finance can be provided for:

Serviced land (offered by private sector entities, PPPs or local authorities acting on their own)

Clearing of erven

Water and sewage provision

Electricity distribution

Residential roads

Low to middle income housing developments
(Units to be sold)

The Bank structures finance for larger projects to ensure that it promotes viability, based on the project and sales plan.
The Bank cooperates with private sector developers, PPPs and local authorities to develop viable financing that takes sustainability, risk, revenue streams and development impact into account.
