SAHF Housing Study Tours

The SAHF facilitates and organises
housing study tours to Europe and Asia for the benefit of housing
practitioners which gives the ideal opportunity to experience first hand
the latest housing technologies, management programmes and building
techno logies.
In addition the SAHF arranges the attendance at
International Conferences which have proved to be of great value to
delegates. The SAHF through its formal link
with the CIH in the United Kingdom promotes regular liaison and
exchange programmes between its members through the facilitation of
contacts by means of study tours, conferences, exhibitions and
training programmes to encourage and facilitate the promotion of
housing between academic, technical, professional, research,
non-governmental and community-based organisations with a view to
broadening the knowledge of housing practice and policy between
participating parties in each country.
