Move Yaoundé will contribute to positive social, economic, and environmental externalities:
Reduced greenhouse gases emissions and local air pollutants: An integrated multimodal public transport system will slow down rapid motorisation by offering an attractive alternative to private car ownership.
Improvements in road safety: Complete streets will protect pedestrians and enable safer interaction between vehicles, pedestrians and street vendors.
Creating jobs and protecting livelihoods: Taking Street vendors into account in the street redesign will help to preserve the income generation and vibrant culture of Yaoundé’s streets.
Gender equality and empowerment: More accessible, safe, comfortable, and affordable travel will promote women’s and girls’ access to various opportunities.
Strengthening resilience and adaptation to climate change: Planting trees and greenery will significantly reduce ambient temperatures in Yaounde and purifies the air by combating heat island effects.
