Reducing road incidents and fatalities through excellence in engineering, education, enforcement, evaluation and collaboration

The roads in Africa are amongst the world’s deadliest and road safety is becoming a major issue for the continent both in terms of human lives lost, and the economic and social impact of road accidents.

It does not matter whether this year fewer people die - not a single person must be killed on our roads. When we lose a high school student in a taxi crash, we do not just lose a high school learner, we lose a doctor, a potential engineer or even a priest. So, in one crash we lose a doctor who could have been a healer of thousands, who could have prolonged the lives of others, an engineer who could build bridges. Indeed, in one crash, we could lose a priest, someone who could have become our country's moral compass.
Sibusiso Ndebele, Minister of Transport of South Africa, 29 March 2010

The Make Roads Safe global campaign for road safety revealed some startling statistics at the Make Roads Safe Africa Conference last year:

  • Africa has the highest road death rate per population in the world – 32.2 people per 100,000 population are killed in road crashes (Western Europe’s average is 11 per 100,000);
  • Africa’s road deaths, currently over 200,000 a year, are predicted to rise by at least 80% by 2020;
  • By 2015 road crashes will be the number one killer of children aged 5-14 in Africa, outstripping Malaria and HIV/AIDS;
  • Economically active young people are most at risk of road injury – in Kenya at least 75% of injuries involve young family breadwinners;
  • Road crashes are estimated to cost African countries between 1-3% of their Gross National Product (GNP).
