AfroSAFE:
Safe System for radical improvement of road safety in African countries
The fundamental objective of the AfroSAFE project is to significantly advance the spread of the Safe System mode of operation in the context of road safety initiatives in African nations. This is achieved by exposing local practitioners and decision-makers to state-of-the-art knowledge and practices in road safety management based on Safe System principles, and by supporting them by sharing knowledge, tools, and methods for road safety improvement—adapted to African conditions and in close collaboration with local actors.
