Task 5.4 (Studies on national road safety agencies) is the primary focus of this report. Based on the outputs of the capacity reviews performed in Task 5.2, this task will build upon the African guidelines for establishing and strenghtening national road safety agencies and will produce concrete, country-specific recommendations for the improvement or creation of national agencies responsible for road safety and traffic management. The African guidelines for establishing and strenghtening national road safety agencies will be further developed to establish country-specific organisational and coordinating models and structures. These will include a management model and staffing requirements for Road Safety Agency (including the composition of the board and a profile of senior management), as well as guidelines for the national coordinating structures. Given the elaborated guidelines for a national road safety agency and the proposed new organisational structure, an estimate of the annual operating budget will be developed. (Author/publisher)
