DIG Partners with Habitat for Humanity International

Since late 2005, DIG has been working with Habitat for Humanity
International on a variety of activities designed to assist HFHI as it seeks to
incorporate microfinance-based methods into its strategy for housing
finance delivery.  In January 2006, DIG delivered a training in Honduras for
more than 20 Habitat and habitat-affiliated staff, and conducted a review of
World Relief Honduras housing microfinance programs.  DIG has also
assisted Habitat at a more global level, working notably on long term
planning for microfinance integration within Habitat, and on a study,
financed by the World Bank, on the impact, limitations, and market for
housing microfinance worldwide.  DIG and Habitat conducted field work in
Peru and Bolivia in support of that study, whose findings will be published
as a part of a forthcoming World Bank "flagship" book on housing finance.
