Event Details
With the support of a grant from the UNRSF, UNESCWA, IRF, ANASER and NARSA are supporting Morocco, Senegal and Mauritania to update their road design standards, as part of the “Safe and Inclusive Road Design in North and West Africa” project. This is a launch event to celebrate the kick-off of this project.
In line with the recommendations of the Global Plan of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030, this project will support the three countries to review their geometric design standards, manuals and guidelines to ensure that roads are designed to provide adequate levels of safety and accessibility to all road users. It will do so by taking a multi-stakeholder approach already piloted successfully in Tanzania via the UNRSF-funded Ten Step Project.
