Africa is the worst performing Continent in road safety and year after year the situation worsens. To reverse this trend, it is essential to bear in mind that road safety problems in Africa should be preferably considered in their own context, as well as the proposed solutions to address them.
In 2011 the Africa Road Safety Action Plan (ARSAP) established an Action Plan to meet the objective of reducing road traffic crashes by 50% by the year 2020. Despite this effort, the situation worsens year after year and Africa is the continent with the worst road safety performance. To contribute reverse this trend, the SaferAfrica project, a joint effort of 17 partners from Africa and Europe, was launched in 2016. Within the framework of SaferAfrica project, the Crowdsourcing tool was developed and implemented through the African Road Safety Observatory.
