Urban growth rate
Cameroon, with its 25M inhabitants, is undergoing a rapid population growth. With 52% of its population living in cities, it is the most urbanized country in Central Africa. By 2020, more than two thirds of Cameroonians will live in urban areas. The country is dominated by two major cities: Douala, economic capital (2.7M inhabitants in 2015) and Yaounde, administrative capital (2.5M inhabitants in 2015).
About 80% of the trips are made on foot, despite the bad conditions and lack of walkways, and moto-taxis are the main mode of transport in the city (with different services: fixed route, on-demand etc.). Sometimes, they can carry up to 3 passengers. Taxis, mini-buses and buses also ensure people's mobility.
The major challenges are:
The urban sprawl and the recent development of informal mobility solutions (moto-taxi, mini-bus) to serve the suburban areas;
The lack of regulation of these informal modes of transport;
The lack of infrastructures, as well as the lack of accessibility to public transport;
The high rate of road fatalities;
The bad conditions of road infrastructures;
The obsolescence of moto-taxis and mini-buses, sources of GHG emissions;
The lack of integration between formal and informal transport;
The high traffic congestion, the unregulated on-street parking, unregulated market activities and street vendors;
The lack of decentralization, especially when it comes to funding.
Modal share:
Moto-taxis: 18.5%
Cars and SUV: 12.22%
Taxis: 19.8%
Minibus: 1.61%
Bus: 6.1%
Other: 4.8%
