| 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. Given that Africa remains the least developed
region, the rapid urban growth pace will likely accelerate
motorization development and challenge the limited resource
base to meet the demand of the growing urban populations.
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 Ethiopia. |
