Mobility plays a vital role in our economic and social prosperity, connecting people, goods and places. However, poorly planned transport systems have hard-hitting and negative consequences for everyone around the world – contributing to climate change, poor air quality and road fatalities. In many African countries, the majority of people walk and cycle as their daily mode of transport, often out of necessity. Citizens risk their lives doing so, due to a lack of investment in safe infrastructure and exposure to increasing air pollution. This is as a result of most countries in Africa lacking any systematic approach to prioritizing the needs of pedestrians and cyclists. The UN Environment Share the Road Programme is currently supporting countries around the world, including national governments in Rwanda, Zambia and Ethiopia, with the development of national policies which prioritise non-motorized transport (NMT). However, national policies are only a first step. In order to translate policy into action, we need to work at transforming how urban mobility investment priorities are made in these three countries. This project aims to influence policy to ensure resources are allocated to walking and cycling facilities with a particular emphasis on the needs of vulnerable groups. Key stakeholders will include national ministries (transport, housing, infrastructure, local government, finance, health) within each of the countries, city governments, educational institutions, civil society groups representing vulnerable groups, private sector, and country and regional technical partners. The project will strengthen the capacity of governments to prioritize and allocate resources to NMT infrastructure through the introduction of relevant investment policies and enhancing engagement between policymakers and groups representing vulnerable citizens. The main UN entities involved in project implementation are UN Environment and UNDP Zambia Office and in an advisory capacity are UN-Habitat, UN Women and UNICEF. Planned implementation partners are World Resource Institute Ethiopia, Global Green Growth Institute Rwanda, Flone Initiative and the University of Cape Town. Expected project results are national investment policies/commitments at national and city level.
