DigitalTransport4Africa with funding from French Development Agency (AFD) and leadership of World Resources Institute (WRI) have tasked Transport for Cairo (TfC) to provide technical support for selected African cities to go “Beyond mapping”. The exercise consisted of (a) assessing and choosing an African city to provide technical support, and (b) define the activities and outputs of this technical support based on the city’s specific needs. The exercise was done for three cities:
- Kumasi, Ghana: With a strong communication line between WRI and Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly’s Department of Transport.
- Alexandria, Egypt: With TfC leveraging their existing partnership with the UPGRADE+ team at the Arab Academy for Science & Technology (AAST) university in Alexandria.
- Maputo, Mozambique: With a willing and proactive partner found in Observatório da Mobilidade (OMT).
