City of Kigali
In December 2022 the city officially joined the African Cities Program. The largest city of Rwanda is specially worried about the increasing needs for transport, in a context of population growth and urban expansion. The participation of Kigali in the Africa Cities Program is coupled with the launch of an important development project in this sector. The realization of a complete city action plan will broaden the stakeholders‘ horizons and foster synergies between transport and other sub-sectors.
The UMDF and the AfDB are engaged in supporting a city diagnostic and preparatory studies to design a global mobility plan, paving the way for well targeted investments.
