Discussions are underway with the Municipal Council of Kisumu, Millennium Cities and the Agence Française pour le Développement for the establishment of a LFF as part of a broad urban upgrading plan for this fast expanding Kenyan city. Kisumu is one of nine Millennium Cities in Africa, and there is obviously scope to expand to all Millennium Cities on the continent.

Explorations are also underway in Mozambique and Uganda for potential Local Finance Facilities .

There is potential to develop a Local Finance Facility prototype to assist with the reconstruction of Haiti, and these discussions are underway as a part of the UN-HABITAT response to the crisis and the need for housing and security of tenure.

There may also be scope for a broader Global Finance Facility Reconstruction Fund that can be established to address future natural disasters or post-conflict rebuilding situations, where the need for immediate funds is great and there is scope for repayment as a part of the regeneration efforts, but where credit enhancement and technical support is also needed.
