More than a billion people walk or cycle for almost an hour every day in Africa - to reach work, home, school and other essential services. But Sub-Saharan Africa still has the highest per capita rate of road fatalities than any region in the world. Not to mention congestion, poor air quality and environmental impact. The Africa Network for Walking and Cycling was launched in October 2020 and brings together 50 organisations with a common goal: to make the life of people who walk and cycle in Africa countries safer, healthier and more comfortable - through our combined action, expertise and influence. The Network is hosting an annual forum to provide a space for organisations and experts to convene and collaborate under the network common goal - with a focus on action; getting things done and changing the status quo.
