People in Africa who have little access to mobility. Furthermore, political decision-makers and institutions that are responsible for fair and environmentally friendly mobility. We also work with local and international NGOs and institutions such as UNEP, UNDP, UNHABITAT, the EU and GIZ. Since our work also includes research and evaluation, we also work with German and international universities and run courses.
