    Description: Electric mobility is beginning to enter East African cities. This paper aims to investigate what policy-level solutions and stakeholder constellations are established in the context of electric mobility (e-mobility) in Dar es Salaam, Kigali, Kisumu and Nairobi and in which ways they attempt to tackle the implementation of electric mobility solutions. The study employs two key methods including content analysis of policy and programmatic documents and interviews based on a purposive sampling approach with stakeholders involved in mobility transitions. The study findings point out that in spite of the growing number of policies (specifically in Rwanda and Kenya) and on-the-ground developments, a set of financial and technical barriers persists. These include high upfront investment costs in vehicles and infrastructure, as well as perceived lack of competitiveness with fossil fuel vehicles that constrain the uptake of e-mobility initiatives. The study further indicates that transport operators and their representative associations are less recognized as major players in the transition, far behind new e-mobility players (start-ups) and public authorities. This study concludes by identifying current gaps that need to be tackled by policymakers and stakeholders in order to implement inclusive electric mobility in East African cities, considering modalities that include transport providers and address their financial constraints.

    Description: En el contexto de la reactivación del Centro Colombiano de Datos e Información Oceanográfica, los historiadores buscaron definir un enfoque de archivística que constituyera un método para la búsqueda científica (también llamada ‘arqueología’ en el argot del manejo de datos oceanográficos internacional) y la recuperación de la memoria histórica de la información oceanográfica del Pacífico colombiano, y al mismo tiempo, satisfacer las necesidades de los investigadores de acceder a datos e información histórica oceanográfica que permitirán contar con una base teórica para realizar estudios de diferente tipo, entre otros, de predicción climática; modelación del oleaje, de corrientes y de fenómenos naturales como El Niño-Oscilación del Sur, que afectan las costas del Pacífico. Se trata de un esfuerzo interdisciplinario realizado a partir de la identificación de los antecedentes y experiencias que instituciones de investigación marina en Colombia y centros de datos oceanográficos de otros países, tanto a lo largo del continente americano como del europeo, han adelantado en las últimas décadas para salvaguardar la historia del océano, costas y áreas insulares. La definición de esta metodología consideró el marco conceptual de la recuperación de datos e información oceanográfica, la identificación de las fuentes documentales e información marina en archivos y bibliotecas, las medidas de conservación documental que incluyen la restauración, digitalización de documentos y normalización de metadatos recuperados, teniendo en cuenta el estándar recomendado por el programa Internacional de Intercambio de Datos e Información Oceanográfica.
    Description: In the context of the reactivation of Colombian Oceanographic Data Center, some historians looked for to define an approach to archival method for scientific search (also call archaeology into the oceanographic data management community) and rescue the historical memory of Colombian Pacific oceanographic information, and at the same time, to satisfy the researchers requirements to get historical oceanographic data and information that will allow them to obtain a theoretical base to make different type of studies, like climatic prediction, wave and currents modeling, and investigation about naturals phenomena like El Nino Southern Oscillation that it affects the Colombian Pacific coast. This work is an interdisciplinary effort made from the identification of the antecedents of Colombian marine research institutes and national oceanographic data centres of other countries, as much throughout the American continent as of the European, which have had experience in safeguard the history of the ocean, coasts and insulars areas in the last decades. The definition of this methodology considered the conceptual framework of the oceanographic information and data rescue, the identification of the documentary sources and marine information available into archives and libraries, the measures of documentary conservation that include restoration, digitalization of documents and the normalization of metadata recovered according to the standard recommended by the International Oceanographic Data and Information program.

    Description: This paper explores how the European Commission promotes the concept of Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP) among European cities. Despite the strong uptake of the SUMP concept, mobility-related problems persist in European municipalities. Linking theoretical approaches to understand the diffusion of policies with empirical findings from working with cities in the SUMP context, this article explores channels of policy diffusion and investigates shortcomings related to the respective approaches. Studies on the diffusion, the transfer and the convergence of policies identify formal hierarchy, coercion, competition, learning and networking, and the diffusion of international norms as channels for policy transfer. The findings which are presented in this paper are twofold: First, the paper finds evidence that the Commission takes different roles and uses all mechanisms in parallel, albeit with different intensity. It concludes that the approaches to explain policy diffusion are not competing or mutually exclusive but are applied by the same actor to address different aspects of a policy field, or to reach out to different actors. Second, the article provides first evidence of factors that limit the mechanisms' abilities to directly influence urban mobility systems and mobility behaviour.
