About the program:

African cities are at a turning point: the urban population will reach 1.5 billion by 2050, yet infrastructure and services already fall short, especially in informal settlements. Over half of sub-Saharan city residents face unsafe air pollution, while floods, heatwaves, and droughts intensify climate risks. With three-quarters of 2050 infrastructure yet to be built, there is a unique opportunity to shape cities that are low-carbon, inclusive, and resilient. Our goal is to transition Africa's urban systems to provide better quality of life and health through equitable access to jobs and services — especially for the underserved — while achieving climate neutrality by 2050. In Kenya, the Small Vehicles E-Mobility project demonstrates this vision by advancing electric two- and three-wheelers, reducing emissions, cutting fuel costs, improving air quality, and creating green jobs through local assembly and manufacturing.
