Previous Projects
Digital Mapping of Addis Ababa Transport Network
Starting April, 2018 TfC has been working with WRI, Addis Ababa’s Transport Authority and Addis Ababa University to map the Ethiopian Capital’s Transit network. TfC has been acting as a lead consultant to the capacity building for the mapping process, working with WRI and the University staff to advise on Management, while also working with the University’s students to provide the technical know-how.
The final product is a complete GIS for Addis Ababa’s formal and informal transportation routes and stops, and a local capacity comprised in a team of students and university staff that can lead the GIS/GTFS process with the Transport Authority.
The project finished October 2018 and is a successful example of a collaboration with local authorities to replicate Digital Cairo in other contexts.
