by Solomon Irungu
Spiro and Entrepreneurial Solutions Partners (ESP) have launched a women-focused electric mobility programme in Rwanda, beginning with 50 participants in October 2026 and targeting 500 women in the initial pilot before expanding to 5,000 entrepreneurs across Africa by 2030. The initiative combines motorcycle riding and road safety training, entrepreneurship development, access to financing and commercial opportunities in an effort to widen women’s participation in the continent’s growing electric mobility sector.
