What does accessible, sustainable and inclusive mobility look like in African cities?
This podcast series tells the stories of women as civil society actors, activists, authors, leaders, health and humanitarian workers, youth representatives, traders and entrepreneurs in the Sahel and West Africa. We gather first-hand examples of their outstanding work within local communities as well as their important contributions to advancing gender equality and positive change. These conversations also aim to better connect the Sahel and West Africa Club’s evidence-based analysis with civil society advocacy and action through dialogue and knowledge exchange.
Join us with Charlène Kouassi, Managing Director at Movin’On LAB Africa, to dive into the gendered dimensions of mobility and discover opportunities to leapfrog to sustainable transport through electrification, renewable energy, and digital innovation. Charlène calls for better walking and cycling infrastructure and highlights the need to capitalise on “informal” popular transport services by modernising them and reducing their emissions. Charlène was named Remarkable Feminist Voice of Transport in 2023 by TUMI/GIZ and Movin’On LAB Africa is a think tank that promotes innovations and best practices on sustainable mobility in Africa.
This episode is hosted by Mame Diarra Diop, radio journalist and producer in Mali.
