This project aims to strengthen the enforcement of road safety laws in Uganda. We advocate for stricter regulations and penalties for traffic violations, such as speeding, driving under the influence, and not wearing seat belts. The project also supports law enforcement agencies by providing training and resources to better implement these laws. Key Activities: Advocacy campaigns for stricter traffic laws. Training sessions for traffic police officers. Public awareness campaigns about road safety regulations. Collaborating with the Ministry of Transport and Works to review and update traffic laws. Impact: The project has led to a 15% decrease in traffic violations in areas where enforcement has been strengthened. Increased police presence and better training have contributed to a safer driving environment.

The Youth Road Safety Education Program is designed to educate young road users about safe practices. This project targets schools and universities, offering interactive workshops and seminars that teach students about the dangers of reckless driving, the importance of wearing helmets and seat belts, and how to be responsible road users. Key Activities: Organizing road safety workshops in schools. Developing educational materials tailored to young road users. Engaging students in road safety campaigns and awareness drives. Collaborating with educational institutions to integrate road safety into their curricula. Impact: Over 10,000 students have participated in our workshops, with many schools adopting our road safety curriculum. The program has led to a 20% increase in helmet use among young motorcyclists in targeted regions.  

The Safe Roads Initiative focuses on improving road conditions and infrastructure across Uganda. This project involves conducting road safety audits to identify hazardous areas, installing new road signs, and improving road markings. We work closely with local governments and communities to ensure that roads are safe for all users, especially in high-risk areas. Key Activities: Conducting road safety audits. Installing and upgrading road signs. Improving road markings and visibility. Collaborating with local authorities for road maintenance. Impact: This project has resulted in the reduction of road accidents in several high-risk areas by 30% within the first year of implementation. Improved road signage and markings have enhanced road safety for both motorists and pedestrians.
