| Summary: | Motorization management is the
process of shaping, through public policies and programs,
the profile, quality, and quantity of the motor vehicle
fleet as motorization occurs. Across Africa, governments are
struggling to manage the effects of rapid motorization and
urbanization. In the past two decades, Africa has been the
fastest urbanizing region in the world, growing at 3.44
percent on average which is much higher than the rate of
other rapid developing regions, such as Asia and Latin
America. While this motorization potentially means that more
African people will be able to claim the benefits of
improved access to opportunities and mobility, it raises
alarming questions about the sustainability of this future.
Will countries be able to build and maintain infrastructure
to accommodate these vehicles Will the quality of the
vehicles support African development goals and the region’s
ability to meet the sustainable development goals and
climate obligations This report lays out plausible
motorization policies that can be implemented by the
government of Kenya. |
