The present diagnostic study aims to prompt a change in thinking about accessibility and mobility and to raise awareness among decision-makers so that they will implement strong policies, strategies, and operational practices that make an effective contribution to improving urban transport and mobility in African cities.

This report aims to identify the main mobility and accessibility issues in Burkinabe cities by analyzing five priority themes:

• Strengthening the institutional framework for urban transport management;
• Bolstering funding sources devoted to urban transport management;
• Improving the performance of public transport and increasing ridership;
• Fostering meaningful participation of the private sector in urban transport management;
• Improving multimodal planning and the functioning of city centers.

It was drafted at the conclusion of an initial mission to Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso to gather data and talk to local and national stakeholders. It is the result of an in-depth analysis based on the EASI conceptual framework. It includes a diagnosis of urban mobility in Burkina Faso based on the existing literature, an analysis of obtained data, and interviews.
