The Problem
Poor road safety skills are main cause of accidents leading to injury, death & huge economic losses in Africa. The annual loss from road traffic crashes is about 3% of global GDP, larger than the national budgets of most African countries. On the continent more lives are lost through road fatalities than through to terrorism, corona virus or crime. The risk assessment and skill levels of most road users are the main cause of this grave situation.
Given the existing poor road safety record, high death rates, expanding motorization, and growing population, we all have to work together to lessen the impact of this terrible road carnage trend on families, communities and the economy. The United Nations is leading governments, civic society and the corporate sector to collaborate on improving road management. This includes improving the safety of roads and vehicles – as well as training drivers, riders, cyclists, passengers, and pedestrians on safe behaviour. It also covers emergency care and treatment, as well as proper road crash investigations to prevent more fatalities and injuries.
The Numbers
- Over 1.3 million people are killed annually in road crashes worldwide. That is 3,561 people dying daily or 5 people every 2 minutes.
- Over 90% of road traffic deaths occur in low and middle-income countries.
- Over 90% of road fatalities are attributed to human error.
- 4. 43% of drivers overestimate their driving skills or lack of them.
- 5 million lives that the UN targets to save every decade through its global plan for road safety.

Our Target Groups
Our chosen focus from the UN Sustainable Development Goals is goal no. 3 on Good Health & Wellbeing, and goal no. 13 on Climate Action. Through these, we aim to impact the following target groups.
1. Primary School Students
This is the future generation that can change the national direction on a large scale if they get the right skills early enough. They have receptive minds and can influence each other positively.
2. Pedestrians & Riders
They have a low accident survival rate and comprise the highest number of fatalities. They are also an ignored segment as pedestrians have no formal road safety training opportunities.
3. Career Drivers & Regular Motorists
These have the longest driving times as they drive the economy of the country. They have high accident probability due to their demanding work, long hours & related lifestyles.
