iRAP is celebrating an important milestone with the accreditation of Amadou Oury Diallo, the first person in Senegal to achieve iRAP Accreditation under the Ten Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure. This recognition confirms Amadou’s competencies in Road Attribute Coding, enabling him to contribute directly to improving road safety and supporting high‑quality, iRAP‑specification services across the country.

His achievement has been met with enthusiasm across the iRAP team. Nathalie Chiavassa, Safer Journeys Lead for Africa, highlighted the significance of this milestone for the region:

“Amadou’s accreditation is a landmark moment for road safety in Senegal. By building local expertise through the Ten Step Plan, we are ensuring that high-quality, life-saving infrastructure is led by those who know these roads best. I hope Amadou’s success inspires a new wave of practitioners across the region to join us in creating safer journeys for all.”

This milestone also supports broader capacity‑building efforts within Senegal’s Ten Step Plan, which provides free training and accreditation pathways for local professionals. While participation is growing, the team hopes that Amadou’s example will encourage more emerging road safety practitioners across Senegal to join the training programmes and help build a stronger safety culture nationwide.

The Ten Step Senegal Project, funded by the United Nations Road Safety Fund (UNRSF), is a collaborative initiative involving the Government of Senegal through the Ministry of Infrastructure, Land, and Air Transport (MITTA) and National Road Agency ANASER, alongside a consortium led by the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) and including the International Road Federation (IRF), PIARC (World Road Association) and LASER International, with support from the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) and FIA Foundation.

Together, these partners are strengthening national road safety systems and ensuring that professionals like Amadou are equipped to drive safer, high‑quality road infrastructure across Senegal.
