• Title: Road Safety Project• Location:

– Mainly based in Cotonou + Porto Novo



4. Issues identified - Strength1. Active role of local NGOs for RS, especially on public awareness action2. Existing government structures – up to provincial levels 3. Road infrastructure (lanes for motorbikes,…)4. Basic road safety education in primary schools + driving schools 5. Initiatives in communities /


4. Issues identified - Weakness1. Lack of knowledge in Road Safety among stakeholders + No national action plan2. Coordination Role of the National Road Safety Center Vs ONG Alinagnon3. Limited political will – especially on Law Enforcement + resources4. First aids + Emergency Medical System5. Lack of data on road crashes and victims /


5. Approach1. Capacity Building to government staff – National Road Safety Center + NGOs2. Behavior changes: helmet3. Data collection system4. Be the catalyst between RS stakeholders (NRSCenter and Alinagnon) /


6. Beneficiaries– Direct beneficiaries : NRSC staff, NGO staff, traffic police, RS

related department staff, – Potential beneficiaries : public through awareness campaigns


7. Partner(s)• National RS Center: MoU (to be confirmed via the second trip to Benin)• MoI: police sections for enforcement and data collection• MoH : staff in ministry and hospitals for data collection• NGOs: Alinagnon + “Attention” RS pour tous In the future: National RS committee might be created MoU with HIB /

2016

Capital city - Porto Novo


10.Sustainability of the project• Financial sustainability: mostly on investment

(capacity building), limited running cost, NRSAP can also be a tool to attract more fund for the country

• Institutional sustainability: support the NRSCenter, existing government structure / local NGOs,

• Socio-Cultural sustainability: message through the public awareness is acceptable by public /


12. Risks and assumptions- Road Safety is better prioritized - “Decade of Action for RS” is supported- The national road safety action plan is approved by the government- Traffic law enforcement becomes a priority of the government- Good relationship between Alinagnon and the National Road Safety Center /
