The Pan African Action Plan for Active Mobility (PAAPAM) Southern Africa consultation, masterclass and implementation workshop will take place from 7-8th March in Cape Town, South Africa.
The sub-regional event will gather key stakeholders, experts, and policymakers from Malawi, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and other Southern African countries to address crucial action areas for walking and cycling.
Participants will be invited to craft a comprehensive strategy to prioritize pedestrians and cyclists over the next decade and in particular work together to:
- Define common priorities related to walking and cycling—a checklist for government prioritisation and action at national and local levels.
- Raise the profile of active mobility, highlighting the role of walking and cycling in addressing deteriorating air quality and the climate crisis.
- Encourage walking and cycling investments by national and city governments and by bilateral and multilateral development banks.
- Promote dialogue and knowledge sharing among governments across the Africa region.
- Identify key performance indicators to enable governments to track progress over time
This is the first of a series of sub-regional consultation workshops hosted in partnership with UN-Habitat, the University of York and Stockholm Environment Institute among others.
