Urban Access
Over 50% of urban trips in many of the African cities are on foot
Farm/household Wider marketsPrimary market
1st Mile
Rural Access
• Rural road transport in Africa costs 3 to 5 times more than main road transport
• Only one in three rural Africans has access to an all-season road. Those facing more than eight hours of travel to an urban center are effectively trapped in subsistence agriculture

Climate Change
• Transport sector to contribute 21% of emission reduction to ensure 2 DGS by 2050

Climate Change: Black Carbon
• UNEP/ WMO Joint assessment: “We estimate that black carbon…is the second most important human emission in terms of its climate-forcing in the present-day atmosphere”
• 16 measures could reduce global warming by 0.5oC (0.2-0.7oC) in 2050, if implemented by 2030 (Diesel clean-up among the key measures)
• Complementary, annual health and crop benefits:
– 2.4 million premature deaths (0.7-4.6 million) avoided; and
– Avoided loss of 52 million tonnes (30-140 million) of maize, rice, wheat and soybean
Diesel Exhaust Contains a Mix of Pollutants: Soot particles (PM), metals, smog-forming gases, carcinogens and many other chemicals - 75% of Diesel PM is black carbon
Road Safety
• 1.3 million deaths per year, 20-50 million injuries• 8th leading cause of death, 5th in 2030 unless effective action is taken• Economic cost $ 2,240 billion, 3% of annual GDP
