Yango Pan African Parliament Session
Yango looks to the Pan-African Parliament for the creation of enabling environments for the e-haling sector
Yango, a leading digital platform specializing in mobility, logistics, and delivery, has called upon the Pan-African Parliament’s Committee on Transport, Communication, Science, and Technology to ensure the creation of supportive environments. This involves establishing balanced regulations and promoting digital literacy alongside infrastructure development.
Adv. Zanyiwe, Vice President and Head of Policy: Yango Africa as well as Country Director for Benin, made this appeal to the Pan-African Parliament Committee on Transport during a presentation on transportation and digital technology transformation, specifically focusing on e-hailing services, within the ongoing Sitting of the Permanent Committees.
Yango has a significant presence across Sub-Saharan Africa, enhancing urban mobility and linking millions to economic opportunities. As highlighted by Adv. Zanyiwe, the African e-hailing industry is undergoing rapid expansion, with projections indicating growth from $4.8 billion in 2025 to $10.2 billion by 2030. This represents a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.2%, according to africamobilitytrends.com.
In 2023, major e-hailing platforms injected over $3.5 billion into the continent’s economy, contributing to 4% of the transport and logistics sector’s GDP. Furthermore, approximately 18% of urban Africans now rely on e-hailing services, underscoring a transformative shift in transportation habits.
