SaferAfrica
The SaferAfrica Project was approved and funded by the European Commission as a part of the Horizon 2020 “Mobility for growth” call for proposal within the “Smart, Green & Integrated Transport” Work Programme.
The overall objective of SaferAfrica was to create favourable conditions and opportunities for the effective implementation of actions for road safety and traffic management in African countries by setting up a Dialogue Platform between Africa and Europe. Through the Dialogue Platform, policy recommendations were provided to support the implementation of the African Road Safety Action Plan and foster the adoption of specific road safety initiatives. This Dialogue Platform was also used as a network framework for activating Twinning Programs on specific issues. The primary role of the Dialogue Platform was to act as a high-level and high-powered body that could help to positively influence changes in the African region. An additional project objective was to increase the awareness of African stakeholders and end-users on road safety by means of an African Road Safety Observatory.
The project consortium was based on the participation of sixteen partners from different European and African countries. The International Road Federation was a proud member of this consortium.
