2:10- 3:15pmInnovative, Inclusive, and Gender-Responsive Financing for Active Mobility in Africa
Session Brief: The recent launch of the Pan-African Action Plan for Active Mobility (PAAPAM) in October 2024 by UNEP, UNHabitat, and WHO marks a historic milestone. As a first continental framework to elevate walking and cycling as sustainable and inclusive modes of transport, PAAPAM addressed urgent mobility challenges, including rapid urbanisation, congestion, climate change, and access inequality. However, the success of PAAPAM —and the broader vision for inclusive active mobility—relies on mobilizing innovative and sustainable financing mechanisms that go beyond transitional donor models.
