Five thematic panels will structure the discussions, allowing participants to explore both technological innovations and the most effective financing models across the Francophonie.
Morocco, historical host of the RHF
This will be the fifth time Morocco's hosting of this annual conference demonstrates a strong and lasting partnership with the Francophone housing network:
- 1989 – Marrakech housing financing
- 1999 – Tangier social housing and quality of life
- 2004 – Casablanca land, social diversity and urban integration
- 2015 – Rabat climate change and social housing
- 2026 – Marrakech integrated approach and sustainability
Each edition has marked a key step in the dialogue between Francophone housing stakeholders. The 2026 edition follows on from the Royal Directives aimed at decent, accessible and sustainable housing for all.
