🌍 We’re reflecting on two inspiring days at the Regional Capacity Building and Knowledge Exchange Study Tour on Advancing Sustainable Mobility in African Cities, alongside the State of the Map Conference, in Nairobi. We dove deep into: 🚍 Open data and its role in transforming urban mobility 🗺️ GTFS data and the power of standardized transit information 🛠️ Best practices on data handling, including the use of CKAN data hubs 🚺 Gender data, highlighting the importance of collecting sex-disaggregated data It was fantastic to exchange knowledge with practitioners from across the region, exploring the multifaceted impacts of open data - enhancing public transport, fostering innovations like traffic apps, and tackling environmental challenges such as noise and air pollution. A highlight was visiting sites such as eBee.africa to explore electric bicycles and STIMA to learn about scalable, sustainable EV fleet management and charging infrastructure.⚡🚴♀️ Thank you to WRI Africa for collaborating under the #DigitalTransport4Africa Initiative and #TUMIData. We're thrilled to have welcomed practitioners from Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Cairo, Accra, Kampala, Kumasi, Lusaka, Yaoundé, and Lagos. 📸 Ian Kwach
