Africa's urban transition is unfolding rapidly, with urban dwellers projected to exceed 50% of the total African population by around 2035.¹ Unplanned and unmanaged growth across Africa, and high rates of poverty (62% of urban dwellers live in slum conditions²), are associated with exposures that increase risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The burden of diabetes in Africa is expected to increase by 110% between 2013 and 2035, and a very high proportion (50·7%) of diabetes cases are currently undiagnosed.
