Evaluating possible approaches in the field of e-micro-mobility to support European and African companies and actors in their business expansion
About BOOST
This project will be a collaborative effort between the GIZ’s Special Initiative on Training and Job Creation and the Urban Electric Mobility Initiative towards unlocking local job creation potentials in a co-development effort with local actors. Partnerships with local entrepreneurs, industry and technical experts will be created to initiate new or improved business concepts that contribute to the local economy, create jobs and foster sustainable development and climate action. Partnerships include the regional platform for electric mobility for Africa, co-hosted by SOLUTIONSplus and UNEP, partner universities of the UN-Habitat Urban Living Lab Collaborating Center, and start-ups involved in the SOLUTIONSplus and SESA projects. Linkages to local educational institutions and vocational training institutions will be made to create an ecosystem for change to ensure the knowledge and skills transfer is embedded to foster further replication.
