Study type: Research report

The key objective of the Africa Urban Mobility Observatory (AUMO) research project is to promote inclusive, lowcarbon mobility in African Low-Income Country (LIC) cities, by piloting Big Data applications to generate data, benchmark performance, and draw policy insights in six African cities. These insights will be used to develop Action Plans in two of these cities, and catalyse broader uptake via a Web Data Platform, workshops, and research. This document is the first draft of the Blantyre City level action. It is informed by the data collected during the AUMO project implementation process and supplemented by other trusted data sources and existing policy frameworks. This living document is intended to support and inform future policy development and investment in inclusive, lowcarbon mobility in Blantyre City.
