An introduction to the groundbreaking work underway to adapt EDGE, IFC’s green building certification platform, to finance and certify self-built affordable housing through leading local financial institutions. Using solar energy and resource efficiency, green self-build housing results in reduced resource constraints on local grids and lowers operational costs for cash-strapped families. This model has significant opportunity to scale globally beyond the pilot cases in India.
