The rate of urbanisation in Africa is the highest in the world. By 2030, 50% of Africans are predicted to be living in urban settings. According to the World Bank, this increasing urbanisation holds much potential for the continent, as it can result in economic growth and poverty reduction. At the same time, it holds the risk of aggravating inequality and urban poverty. Therefore, concrete action to direct Africa’s urban transformation in terms of the Sustainable Development Goals is needed.
In collaboration with the Rwandan government, the Special Initiative on Training and Job Creation and the Tech-Entrepreneurship Initiative “Make-IT in Africa” have set up SCIP to support the growth of digital urban innovations in Rwanda and beyond.
