Mercy Edna Manyasa

Mercy Edna Manyasa is passionate about teaching and mentoring the next generation of sustainable transport professionals. As a child, she was fascinated by airplanes, but later she came to understand their role in transport emissions. That realization shaped her path toward becoming a sustainable transport engineer, driven by the desire to change how people move. Working in green mobility brings her joy, and she believes the youth are the strongest drivers of this change. She is a lecturer, consultant, and researcher with ten years of experience in transport, energy, and climate change. Her work has primarily been research and projects that promote sustainable transport policies, stakeholder engagement, and capacity building for the transition to green mobility in Africa. She is also a co-founder of the Africa Mobility Research Hub. Through her work, she bridges academic research and practice to advance cleaner, more efficient, and inclusive transport systems.
