RSAI Takes a Stand for Safer Roads at the 4th Global Ministerial
Conference on Road Safety
Marrakech, Morocco – February 18-20, 2025 – The vibrant city of Marrakech has become the epicentre of global road safety action as it plays host to the 4th Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety. Among the many organizations championing the cause of safer roads is Road Safety Action International (RSAI), a key player in the fight to reduce road fatalities worldwide in the West Africa.
With road crashes continuing to claim lives at an alarming rate, RSAI has joined forces with the Liberian Delegation to advocate for sustained financing
for road safety interventions. Their focus? Countries like Liberia, Sierra Leone, and The Gambia—nations with relatively small populations and vehicle density
yet suffering disproportionately high road crash fatalities.
“Despite having fewer cars on the road, our people are facing some of the deadliest roads
in the world,” said Eng. Eric Gabriel Jenn-Judgges, Executive Director of RSAI. “It’s time to rethink how we fund road safety in developing nations and ensure
that no country is left behind in this global movement.”
With the vision of halving global road deaths and injuries by 2030, RSAI is committed to crafting localized, innovative strategies that address road safety at both national and regional levels. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, RSAI is advocating for context-specific solutions that align with local infrastructure, cultural behaviours, and traffic patterns.
RSAI’s participation at the conference goes beyond just words. The organization is deeply involved in high-level discussions, focusing on:
From panel discussions to one-on-one meetings with global policymakers, RSAI’s team is actively engaging in various conference events. They are advocating for stronger post-crash response systems, improved road design, and training for law enforcement officers to enforce road safety laws effectively.
RSAI’s commitment to road safety doesn’t stop at this conference. The organization has outlined two major action points to implement upon returning home:
The 4th Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety is more than just a meeting—it’s a rallying call for real action. RSAI is proud to stand at the forefront of this
movement, ensuring that small but highly vulnerable nations are not forgotten in the global push for safer roads.
“Every life lost on the road is a preventable
tragedy,” says Jenn-Judgges. “With the right commitment, funding, and policies in place, we can and we will make our roads safer.”
