Abstract
This Road Safety Management Capacity Assessment (RSMCA) seeks to gain a broad understanding of the Solomon Island Government road safety management capacity in order to support the country’s development of a national strategy and plan of action to improve road safety outcomes, and subsequently implement those actions effectively.
The RSMCA follows the seven critical road safety institutional management functions (Bliss and Breen 2013) to identify key challenges and provide recommendations for improvement in road safety management, and similarly addresses the Safe System pillars for the interventions level. The seven institutional management functions include: results focus; coordination; legislation; finance and resource allocation; promotion and advocacy; monitoring and evaluation, and research and development of knowledge transfer.
The Safe System pillars include road safety management; safe roads and mobility; safe vehicles; safe road users, post-crash care; and safe speeds. As such, the RSMCA outlines key findings and recommendations relating to both the road safety institutional management functions within the Solomon Islands, and the Safe System Approach, whilst also identifying targeted priority next steps to address road crash death and serious injury in the country.
