This is full report of findings from the Bicycles for Growth Final Report: Malawi Bicycle Market System (USAID, 2023). Bicycles for Growth (BFG) is a five-year USAID-funded initiative that aims to reduce poverty by improving sustainable uptake of affordable, fit-for-purpose bicycles in sub-Saharan Africa.
The BFG project team, co-led by J.E. Austin Associates (JAA) and World Bicycle Relief (WBR), conducted bicycle market system assessments in 2022 in Malawi, Ghana, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia. Based on the findings, BFG has provided recommendations for tools, approaches, partnerships, and incentives, as well as pilot project development, to improve uptake and access to fit-for-purpose bicycles.
