RSLEC participants in Mombasa<\/em><\/p>\n

iRAP Safer Journeys Lead Nathalie Chiavassa has been in Mombasa over the last week supporting capacity building workshops for road safety leaders and senior police, led by the Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP)<\/a>, and supported by Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit (JHIRU)<\/a> and Bloomberg Philanthropies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Global Road Safety Executive Leadership Course<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nathalie presented at the final in-person workshop of the Global Road Safety Executive Leadership Course (RSELC2025)<\/a> in Mombasa City last Friday.<\/p>\n

The course ran from 22 September to 7 November, via online sessions and an in-person one-week engagement. It brought together 43 road safety leaders from Uganda, Ethiopia, Ghana, Benin, Zambia, Sierra Leone and Kenya dedicated to strengthening road safety systems and advancing the global agenda for safer mobility.<\/p>\n

The RSELC, led by GRSP and JHIRU, and supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, is specifically designed for senior road safety leaders, with a key focus on enabling strategic decision-making that will provide a framework for evidence-based road safety interventions. It introduces key road safety topics and issues, but also gives a significant focus to leadership principles and road safety management based on the utilisation of data to inform best-practice approaches.<\/p>\n

The programme provided valuable insights, strategic perspectives, and practical tools that will significantly contribute to enhancing road safety initiatives in countries.<\/p>\n

Nathalie shared the iRAP Methodology and tools helping to support safer road infrastructure and reduce the road trauma burden across Africa and the world.<\/p>\n
