E09: Dar es Salaam on Wheels: Gender and Labor in the Bodaboda Sector

In this episode, we explore the bodaboda sector in Dar es Salaam, a vital yet precarious part of Tanzania’s urban transport system. Drawing on new research from Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), we unpack the lived realities of motorcycle taxi drivers, the gendered dimensions of informal work, and the challenges of regulatory reform. Featuring insights from Michaela Collord and Nice Amon Mwansasu, this conversation dives deep into the politics, potential, and future of informal mobility in African cities.
