Safe roads for better life

In a different area altogether, Handicap International also continued to implement its ‘Safe roads for a better life’ road safety project. This project is structured around five main themes: educating children in schools about road safety and raising awareness of the issue among the public; helping the victims of road accidents by improving first aid; supporting efforts to strengthen the highway code; providing technical support to help reduce traffic blackspots; and finally, training road safety committees in overall road safety management (education, healthcare, prevention, compliance with the highway code and infrastructure).
