When electric mobility comes up, the conversation usually focuses on vehicles or charging stations. Those are the parts people see first. But once projects move beyond planning and begin operating in cities, another layer of work becomes visible. Many different roles sit behind the systems that allow electric mobility to function day to day. Introducing electric vehicles does not only change the technology used in transport. It also changes the kinds of work needed to keep

In GEMINI, it is easy to focus on what is being tested. A shared mobility service. A digital tool. Traffic management measures during a major event. But if you ask the cities involved what really defines their Living Lab experience, the answer usually starts much earlier. Before anything becomes visible on the street, there are months of coordination, internal discussions and small adjustments that rarely appear in public updates. This process is unfolding across GEMINI’s Mo

Officially, the BOOST project has come to an end. But on the ground, where change truly happens, its work continues. The partnerships, ideas and initiatives it helped build are still growing, led by the people who keep them alive. Even though the project has officially wrapped up, the collaboration between UEMI and its local partners goes on. We believe it’s important to show where and how BOOST continues to make an impact ,  to share the stories that remind us what lasting c

In Ecuador, the Courier School has grown into a place where people come to learn, connect and find new possibilities for themselves. What began as a training initiative is now a shared effort led by Grupo Entregas with UTPL, the Ministry of Telecommunications, BID Lab, Sistema B, UNHCR, Rett Foundation, World Vision, MINTEL, ACNUR, Formación Permanente and UEMI. Together, UEMI and the partners support people in vulnerable situations who are looking for a way into the labour

Electric mobility is changing the way cities move. But this transition can only go as far as the people who shape it, and women need to be part of those decisions, of the innovation, and of the everyday work behind it. At UEMI, this belief is what drives We Drive Change , a global initiative that puts women at the centre of cleaner, smarter and more inclusive mobility systems . At its core, We Drive Change starts from something simple: gender equality is not an add-on to mob

BOOST is, above all, about people. Professionals landing their first jobs, women breaking barriers in a male-dominated field, and universities opening new doors for future generations. As the project comes to a close, what remains are not just numbers, but lives transformed and skills that will keep growing. BOOST (Boosting e-Mobility Jobs in Africa) , led by UEMI and GIZ, was implemented in Rwanda, Ghana, and Morocco to connect for over nearly two years companies, universiti

Cities are constantly changing, and so are the ways we plan them. A new e-course explores how digital tools can make this process more inclusive, helping people take part in shaping safer and more sustainable urban spaces. Created under the ACCESS project  and inspired by the TRANS-SAFE  and EcoZones initiatives, the course looks at how technology can support collaboration between communities, planners and local governments. It shows that digitalisation isn’t only about inno

The SOLUTIONSPlus Global Learning Programme on electric mobility is about to kick-off the fourth e-course, about electrification of paratransit services. And what is Paratransit, you may ask? It is a transportation service that supplements larger public transport systems by providing individualized rides without fixed routes or timetables. In many cities of the Southern Hemisphere, paratransit services represent an important share of the transport offer, if not the only one

The SOLUTIONSplus project and UNDP jointly conducted a “National Training on E-Mobility” in Hanoi city from 29th–30th November 2022 to support the Government of Vietnam in integrating electric mobility into existing transport and city development plan to contribute to the Net Zero emission target, and to implement mitigation measures from the transport sector noted in Vietnam’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
