Over 200 nominated road safety stakeholders from Tanzania received specialist road safety training last week as part of the 10 Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure Pilot<\/a> currently underway in the country.<\/p>\n

The group of private sector consultants and engineers drawn from road development agencies, the Ministry of Works, Transport and Communications<\/a>, road safety NGOs, financing organisations and academic institutions were selected by the project Steering Committee and Working Groups.<\/p>\n

De 2-daagse cursus, ontwikkeld in samenwerking met wereldwijde experts op het gebied van verkeersveiligheid en engineering, omvatte onder meer de oorzaken van ongevallen, de fundamentele principes van verkeersveiligheidstechniek gebaseerd op een Safe System Approach, snelheidsbeheersing, de economie van verkeersveiligheid en de essenti\u00eble meetinstrumenten van een goed functionerend veiligheidsbeheersysteem voor de wegeninfrastructuur.<\/p>\n

Building capacity in Tanzania is a key deliverable of the 10 Steps Project and this was the first of 3 courses that will explore road safety engineering, iRAP assessments and road safety audits.<\/p>\n

The training aims to address skill gaps and develop participant skills to deliver road safety projects that prioritise the safety of all road users and eliminate high-risk roads in the country.<\/p>\n

The courses will be delivered as a mix of classroom based and virtual self-paced sessions, as well as practical on-the-job training delivered on projects launched through the pilot.<\/p>\n

Those who successfully complete the iRAP training will be eligible to apply for supported iRAP Accreditatie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Ten Step Pilot Project, jointly funded by the Fonds voor Verkeersveiligheid van de Verenigde Naties (UNRSF)<\/a>\u00a0en de\u00a0Wereldwijde Faciliteit voor Verkeersveiligheid van de Wereldbank (GRSF)<\/a>, brengt de regering van Tanzania samen via de MMinisterie van Openbare Werken<\/a>, TANROADS<\/a> and Tanzania Rural and Urban Roads Agency (TARURA<\/a>), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA<\/a>), Wereldbank<\/a>, International Road Federation (IRF<\/a>), Wereldwegenvereniging (PIARC<\/a>Internationaal Programma voor Wegenbeoordeling (iRAP<\/a>), Tanzania Road Federation (TARA<\/a>), onderzoeksinstellingen, NGO's en belanghebbenden uit de industrie.<\/p>\n

Tanzania is the first country to pilot the 10 Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure.<\/a> It is designed to provide countries with a proven step by step process to build national capacity for safer road infrastructure and to help them achieve VN-doelen 3 en 4<\/a>. It is expected more countries will follow, learning from Tanzania’s experience.<\/p>\n
