This week, 16 city officials from 7 African cities were convened in Addis Ababa by C40 Cities to discuss how to effectively communicate their cities' pioneering work on air quality. Africa’ s urban transition will not be successful without improving the air we breathe.

Africa's future is urban! By 2050, over 58% of the people will be in urban areas. Today, 45% of the the African countries have a high % of their people in urban areas. But the new entrants into our cities find themselves in informal settlements. Let's stop this! #hastingsoncities

Congratulations Sadiq Khan for a historic and convincing win to secure a 3rd term as Mayor of London.

No! I am not overexcited. It is the Africa Day weekend. I am an African and I love and care about this continent because I was born here, and it is the only continent I have. Africa is my heartbeat!

With a mandate mandated to reclaim and restore the rivers in the City, for quality of life and a better urban environment, Nairobi Rivers Commission continues to make significant strides with efforts to return it to its natural state.

As a legacy, Nairobi Governor H.E Sakaja Arthur Johnson has established a project named Greenway, with an intention to regenerate the riverfront especially on the riparian reserve areas that have been cleared by the Nairobi Rivers Commission .

The key objectives of the programme are; to promote the provision of quality, stimulating, and nurturing childrencare services for all children under 3 years within health centres, communities and households, to provide opportunities for early learning through equitable access

For me, theNairobi County School-feeding Programme is not just about giving food to children. It is about giving children hope and dignity; and raising a productive generation for Africa's future. And for this I say: Dishi na County - Dishi na Sakaja! Team Sakaja Nairobi City County

Africa's rapid urbanization is reshaping politics: mayors and local leaders are becoming key players in delivering jobs, housing, and services. The future of African politics will be decided as much in city halls as in presidential palaces.

African cities - Lagos, Kigali, Dakar, Nairobi - are not just concrete. They breathe culture. From Nairobi’s matatu art to Marrakech’s souks, Bamako’s courtyards to Joburg’s shebeens, culture is the heartbeat of African urban life. Ignore it, and city-making is alien and toxic.

Africa generates 174M tonnes of waste yearly—only 44% is collected, <10% recycled. Let’s turn trash into jobs, energy & dignity. It’s not waste until

In Cairo, 80% of waste is recycled by citizens. Kigali recovers metals from e-waste. Abidjan turns plastic into classrooms. Mombasa makes paving blocks from ocean plastics. Innovation is our path to clean cities

I am a mayor without a city. My city is every African city dreaming of clean air, unpolluted rivers & dignified work. Together, we can move from dumping to dignity, pollution to prosperity

World Cities Day! Let's celebrate the mayors - city’s first responders whose work begins just when ours is done. Every light that shines and every tap that runs, does so because a Mayor refused to give up. While for most of us, city life just happens — for them, it never stops.
