Africa’s rapidly growing cities face significant mobility challenges as transport systems work to keep pace with urban growth. Many people rely on walking, public transport, and informal or paratransit services, while gaps in safe, affordable, and accessible mobility contribute to challenges around road safety, air quality, congestion, and climate resilience. At the same time, cities across the continent are developing new approaches to make mobility more sustainable, inclusive, and people-centred.

CMC’s network includes 14 partners across Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Benin, and Uganda, working toward more sustainable, inclusive, and just mobility across Africa. Through our Youth Fellowship, young people across the region have worked on their own projects around transport, mobility justice, climate action, and more equitable cities, with training and support from CMC staff and partners across our global network.

Our partners and as well as current and former fellows bring local perspectives to issues including public transport, climate resilience, air quality, environmental justice, and youth leadership.
