Statement of Need

Road crashes (accidents) exert a heavy toll on a country’s socio economic development prospects. At worst, road crashes rob the country of its most productive population due to deaths or incapacity- temporary and permanent. The huge financial costs incurred in terms of loss of output, medicines and medical equipment, treatment, policing and administration amount to about 2- 3% of a country’s gross domestic product. These figures do not include the “warm bloodied” costs of pain, suffering, grief and despair of surviving  dependants. Ensuring road safety is therefore an issue each government should prioritize.

This programme aims to address the need for specialized training in road traffic and safety management, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to develop and implement effective strategies to enhance road safety and manage traffic effectively.
