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. This report provides an evaluation of the Big Data technologies that had been applied in the AUMO cities, as well as the initial set of indicators that had been included in the AUMO portal.
