Malawi’s new National Road Safety Strategy 2022-2030<\/a> includes for Road Safety Audits to be completed for all new roads, and a minimum 3-Star iRAP\u00a0Rating to be achieved for all road users.<\/p>\n

Minister of Transport and Public Works Jacob Hara launched the Strategy in Chikwawa on 8 December commemorating African Road Safety Day, and said the Strategy will help to direct action to improve road safety in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strategy has been aligned to the Second Decade of Action that aims at a 50% reduction in road traffic fatalities and serious injuries by the year 2030 in line with the global plan. To all stakeholders, I say let the availability of the National Road Safety Strategy be a guide to your activities not just a booklet.\u201d Minister Hara said.<\/p>\n

iRAP is working with the\u00a0Ministerie van Transport en Openbare Werken van de Republiek Malawi<\/a> (MTPW), local NGO Stichting Verkeersveiligheid (RoSAF)<\/a>\u00a0en de Europese Investeringsbank (EIB)<\/a> to improve road infrastructure safety in the country.<\/p>\n

We congratulate the Government of Malawi on the Strategy and its prioritisation of 3-star or better safety for all road users and look forward to supporting local and international partners in its implementation.<\/p>\n
