A new World Bank report identifies 10 ports, 20 road segments, and 20 border crossings in Africa that are crucial to addressing the continent’s food insecurity crisis. With 140 million Africans—one in five people—classified as food insecure, improving these transportation hubs could significantly reduce food waste, lower costs, and enhance food access for millions of people.
Transportation systems face growing risks from extreme heat, which can damage assets, disrupt services, and endanger users and workers. A new report —Heatwaves and Their Effects on Transportation Systems: A Comprehensive Review— consolidates global evidence on heat impacts across transport classes, identifying key research gaps and lessons, particularly for developing regions.
Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, is poised to transform its public transportation system to improve daily commutes, expand access to jobs and services, and generate new employment opportunities across the city.
