Pan African Action Plan for Active Mobility: A Commitment Towards a Better Walking and Cycling Environment for People and Planet - First Edi...

The Pan African Action Plan for Active Mobility (PAAPAM) is a comprehensive framework aimed at transforming mobility across Africa by prioritising the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-motorized transport users. It was co-developed through extensive stakeholder engagement and is designed to support regional and sub-regional bodies, national and local governments and other stakeholders in prioritizing and investing in the needs of the billion people who walk and cycle every day in Africa. PAAPAM recognises how important it is to invest in walking and cycling and other non-motorized transport modes for the environment, air quality, health, road safety, and social equity, while ensuring no one is left behind in the mobility transition. By embedding PAAPAM’s multi-sectoral goals and actions into existing and new policies frameworks, and planning documents, African countries can address key challenges including road fatalities and injuries, pollution, climate change, congestion, etc; while at the same time designing and building more inclusive, vibrant, and equitable communities.
