Press release:\u00a0<\/strong>The Ten-Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure Project commenced in Senegal on Thursday, January 23, 2025, at 10:00 GMT, Dakar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Republic of Senegal officially launched “Senegal’s Ten-Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure<\/a>” Project last Thursday in Dakar. The event, which brought together the main national and international road safety stakeholders, marks a strong commitment by the country to drastically reduce the number of crashes and deaths and injuries on its roads.<\/p>\n

The implementation of the Ten Step Plan will be overseen by a Steering Committee comprised of key road safety organizations in Senegal. The Committee, whose inaugural meeting was held on January 22, on the eve of the Project Kick-off Workshop, will ensure effective coordination and monitoring of progress.<\/p>\n

The three-year project is the result of collaboration between the Government of Senegal and national and international partners to strengthen institutional capacity and investments for safer roads in the country \u2013 with the aim of improving existing and future roads to achieve a three-star or higher safety standard for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and vehicle occupants.<\/p>\n

“When it comes to road safety, there is no miracle recipe, but above all, it takes courage, determination and vigilance at all times. With this plan, Senegal aims to revolutionize our vision of road safety, to build safe infrastructure, to develop performance monitoring tools, and to rigorously evaluate our progress,” said Alia Diouck, representative of the Minister of Infrastructure and Land and Air Transport Yankhoba Di\u00e9m\u00e9.<\/p>\n

UN Road Safety Fund Head Nneka Henry said, \u201cImproving road safety requires long-term commitment and evidence-based holistic action by governments. We are proud to support this important project, and empower impact for improved road safety in Senegal, building on Tanzania\u2019s previous Ten Step Plan success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rob McInerney, CEO of the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) which leads the consortium of partners delivering the project said, \u201cWe applaud the Ministry\u2019s commitment to eliminating high-risk roads, to save lives and reduce injuries.\u00a0 As only the second application of the Ten Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure, this is an exciting step for Senegal, demonstrating the country\u2019s commitment to safer mobility and its road safety leadership in Africa and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to see Senegal embracing the Ten Step approach which has proven to be so effective in instituting an evidence-based framework for action that saves lives,\u201d commented Susanna Zammataro, Director General at the International Road Federation (IRF). \u201cThe sector has the tools to design and build safer roads, but these must be more widely known and implemented. It is about making meaningful decisions that will save thousands of lives,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
