The purpose of this event is to discuss with stakeholders attending the Governing Council meeting the Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) work-program under its proposed ‘Third Development Plan period’ (DP3 2014-2018) currently under preparation. Urban mobility will become a key focus area for SSATP under DP3, with a substantially enhanced profile under SSATP’s work. Thus, for the next program period, SSATP considers UN Habitat to be a key partner. It is hoped that the side event would be used as a way to both introduce the broad outlines of the program to UN Habitat stakeholders from Africa, as well as solicit guidance and opinion on specific elements of the urban transport work-programme.
