Abstract

Road safety has been identified as a key aspect of rural access and mobility development in Sierra Leone. Having established a policy to reduce the burden of deaths and disabilities through road traffic crashes in the country, the Government of Sierra Leone was seeking to ensure that appropriate strategies are identified and applied to address road safety needs, based on analytical methods. To achieve this objective, a comprehensive road traffic crash database was developed to capture crash data and to provide a better understanding of the road safety needs so that appropriate interventions can be applied.
