#7 – Transportation  


With millions of human cargoes and goods that are moved around in villages, towns and cities across Africa, transportation has become central to the functioning of Africa’s economy and basic survival on our continent. With very bad roads, poor transport networks, absent rail lines and weak water transportation, the options for moving people and goods around on the continent are quite limited.

Although the roads are bad, people and goods still need to move around. With a population that is growing faster than anywhere else on earth, transportation remains a problem of the present and future for Africa. In spite of its challenges, smart entrepreneurs are rising to the occasion to solve everyday transport needs for millions of Africans. Motorcycles, taxis, buses, trucks and ferries are some of the ways of tackling the transportation problem.
