Traffic Management & Road Safety

Road Safety for Low- and Middle-Income Countries Training Course

Introduction

Road traffic injuries are a leading cause of death and disability in low- and middle-income countries, claiming over 1.3 million lives annually and leaving millions more with lifelong injuries. Rapid urbanization, rising motorization, inadequate infrastructure, and limited enforcement of traffic laws exacerbate the crisis. Road Safety for Low- and Middle-Income Countries Training Course is designed to equip policymakers, engineers, public health professionals, and community leaders with cutting-edge knowledge, practical strategies, and evidence-based interventions to reduce road traffic fatalities and promote safe mobility.

By integrating global best practices, data-driven approaches, and innovative behavioral strategies, this course emphasizes sustainable road safety solutions, smart mobility planning, and multi-sectoral collaboration. Participants will gain skills in risk assessment, accident analysis, and community engagement to effectively address the unique challenges of LMICs. Case studies from countries that have successfully reduced road traffic injuries will provide actionable insights and practical tools to implement in diverse local contexts.
