Transport systems especially in the sub-Saharan Africa region are often designed and planned for male, long-distance commuters. In most cases, children’s and their caregivers needs are often ignored as they tend to move differently in cities. For Infants, Toddlers and their caregivers, their trips are shorter, off-peak, and with frequent stops as they access services including food, health care, childcare, or even recreational activities. We are working towards ensuring that mobility needs of children and their caregivers are articulated in policy, planning and designing of transport systems to ease access of goods and services.
We have partnered with Kisumu City in implementing this program.
