The Sustainable Urban Mobility Professional Short Course, held in January/February 2024, attracted 47 enthusiastic transport professionals from across Ghana. The participants, representing diverse organizations, engaged in a hybrid training program conducted in two phases.

The week-long course covered essential topics, including the relationship between transportation and climate change, planning efficient public transport systems, and leveraging technology for urban mobility. Interactive sessions, enriched by case studies and field visits, provided participants with practical insights, enabling them to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges and identify innovative solutions.

Feedback from attendees underscored high satisfaction with both the workshop organization and the expertise of the facilitators. One participant noted, “The use of local examples resonated the most,” emphasizing the relevance of context-specific content to their work.

The training highlighted the critical need for coordinated action to achieve sustainable urban mobility. Key recommendations included prioritizing pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, integrating public transport with other mobility modes, and fostering stakeholder support for sustainable initiatives.

The organizers express heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed to the success of this initiative. By continuing to build capacity in the transport sector, we aim to guide efforts that improve mobility, enhance safety, and deliver positive environmental outcomes in Ghana’s cities.
