Description: The principal objective of this report  is to undertake an evaluation of Social Funds  (SF) - both in terms of its institutional  functionality and the scope of the projects,  there is also a secondary purpose. In  evaluating the Social Fund, there was a need to  investigate the role and relevance of affordable  housing programmes which may have been built into Social Funds. In the absence of  any institutionalised solutions to affordable  housing programmes within SF, this report  will endeavour to research the applicability of integrating housing finance or affordable housing mechanisms into the Social Fund.
