PROGRAM

GIZ Lab of Tomorrow 17

Improving intercity and last-mile transport services for people and goods in Nigeria

About the program

The transport and e-commerce sectors are crucial for economic and social development in Nigeria, and they are currently booming. As of today, intercity transport services in Nigeria have been dominated by private operators. Informal and demand-driven para transit services consisting of mini-buses, shared taxis, motorized three-wheelers, and motorcycle taxis are predominant in urban transport. Lab of Tomorrow #17 aims to improve the transport of passengers and goods with a focus on digital trade.
