In Eastern Africa, as in the rest of the continent, cities are expanding at
unprecedented rates and are facing sustained population growth, rapid
motorization rates, rapidly worsening traffic congestion, and thus decreasing
mobility and increasing health problems. The Governments of Kenya, Uganda and
Ethiopia have recognized the importance of efficient, low-cost public transport
and non-motorized transport as a means of helping in poverty alleviation, spurring
economic growth in the urban centres, and providing alternative and affordable
transport.
