Aligned to the 4th Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, le Dix étapes vers 2030 pour un événement sur l'infrastructure routière plus sûre will be held on Monday 17 February from 9am – 5pm at the Palais de Congres in Marrakech, hosted by the Programme international d'évaluation routière (iRAP), Fédération Routière Internationale (FRI) et PIARC (World Road Association).
It will bring together 150-200 leaders and road safety experts from around the world to accelerate action towards the Sustainable Development Goals’ (SDG) target of halving road deaths and injuries by 2030, with a particular focus on how to eliminate high-risk roads and streets for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and vehicle occupants.
The impressive road safety impact of the Plan en dix étapes pour une infrastructure routière plus sûre will be shared, including its implementation success in countries, and its life-saving potential as a template that can be adopted by any country to achieve safer roads and mobility for a sustainable future for all.

About the Ten Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure
The Ten Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure was produced by the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) partners to support countries seeking to improve road infrastructure safety including implementing the UN Convention on Road Traffic and Road Signs and Signals, and achieving Objectifs mondiaux de performance en matière de sécurité routière 3 et 4. The Plan provides a framework to build the institutional capacity, partnerships and regulatory framework in countries.
Tanzania was the first country in the world to implement the Ten Step Plan. Jointly funded by the United Nations Road Safety Fund (UNRSF), UKAid and Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF), and under the guidance of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the project was implemented by a consortium of the International Road Federation (IRF), iRAP, the World Road Association (PIARC) and the Tanzania Roads Association (TARA), together with the Government of Tanzania and local agencies. The project led to the launch of a locally led TanRAP Road Assessment Programme; a Training and Accreditation Scheme to build local capacity; recommendations for a National Road Safety Strategy and revisions to the Road Geometric Design Manual; and expansion of more than 10,000 km of safety assessments using the global iRAP methodology influencing more than USD$1 billion of development bank investment. The project was awarded a 2023 Prince Michael International Road Safety Award.
A Ten Step Senegal Project will be officially launched in Dakar in January 2025. Funded by the United Nations Road Safety Fund (UNRSF), the project 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 iRAP and including the IRF, PIARC and LASER International, with support from the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) and FIA Foundation. The project aims to build local capacity and help to catalyse investment in safer roads.
With the support of a grant from the UNRSF, iRAP, IRF and EASST are supporting Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan on a key step of the Ten Step Plan, to update road design standards, as part of the Safe and Inclusive Road Design – Central Asia project.
Also with the support of a grant from the UNRSF, Senegal and international partners will soon begin implementing a Ten Step Senegal Project, with an aim of building capacity and helping to catalyse investment in safer roads.
The Ten Step Plan offers a template that can be adopted by any country and implemented in a way that matches the specific local context and needs, to empower safer mobility for all road users. See the Plan Framework below:
