African Biker Initiative

THE CHALLENGE

An Untapped Potential, A Cycle of Risk

Commercial motorcycle taxis are the backbone of African urban mobility, but the informal nature of the sector creates a cycle of risk and instability for both riders and the public.

Safety Crisis: High accident rates due to lack of training and safety gear.
Economic Instability: Riders are vulnerable, with no access to credit, insurance, or ownership.
Eroding Trust: Lack of regulation and accountability damages public confidence.

TESTIMONIALS

Voices from the Community

This initiative is about people. Here's what they have to say.

"For the first time, I feel like a professional. The training gave me confidence, and the branded vest gives me respect from customers. My income is more stable than ever."

John D.

Certified Rider, Yaoundé

"As a mother, safety is my biggest concern. Knowing I can now hire a registered, trained rider through an app gives me incredible peace of mind. It's a huge step forward for our city."

Mary A.

Regular Passenger, Douala

"We can’t deny the vital role okada men play in facilitating our daily lives. However, the sector is neglected, with issues like poor hygiene and lack of regulation. A governing body could educate riders on road safety and professionalism, making it a respected, profitable profession."

Community Member

"Bike riders are a lifeline, offering quick errands and showing solidarity. Yet, issues like poor hygiene and risky riding persist. A union could regulate their activities, reducing criminal involvement and enhancing safety."

Louis Ndze

Community Member

"Bike riders are always available, even working on credit, and they know so much about the community. Their work should be recognized as a profession, with insurance and accolades to honor their service."
