Transport Africa is the only independent platform that supports comprehensive news, research, and analysis of Africa’s transport strategies to restore the built environment, ensure high quality of life and keep African businesses competitive. 

Why Is Transport Africa Needed?

Across the continent, Africa’s most vital transport systems vary widely in availability, condition, and cost of use. Past and present African governments have promised comprehensive transport investment, but policies—and funding—have still not materialized. Regional and local efforts have increased to make up for a lack of comprehensive national strategies, and many of these efforts are succeeding. However, without a comprehensive dialogue to unify these strategies, the result has been a series of disconnected, inequitable provisions—which is simply not enough. Transport Africa exists to bring all transport stakeholders together into this urgently needed conversation. As non-partisan proponents of transport investment, we publish studies with the full spectrum of perspectives side-by-side. We conduct interviews with transport experts, business advocates, engineers, and environmental leaders. Through our online interface, lawmakers, stakeholders, and citizens can access reports, studies, op-eds, and videos representing all angles and every viewpoint. Most importantly, we encourage user participation. More than just a library of resources, we host an online community that bridges national, regional, local, and partisan gaps.

Now more than ever, we need a comprehensive dialogue on transportation and travel in Africa. We need Transport Africa to catalyze conversation and inspire meaningful action toward the continent’s transport strategy. Transport Africa hopes to continue our support of transportation and travel improvement in Africa, helping steward the continent into a new era of transport infrastructure investments.
