It also supports the professionalization of the local informal transport sector (together with Agence Française de Développement, AFD). It strengthens the cross-sectoral expertise for a globally just mobility through knowledge products and further education offers. It positions associated transport concepts in global and local city and specialist networks.

For these activities, the project works with national and international partners, including WRI, ITDP, UITP, C40, ICLEI, ICCT and AFD. We are looking for creative and engaging minds to help us on our way to make mobility more sustainable, accessible and gender-equitable!
