    Global road safety programme launched in Senegal


    1A five-year global road safety programme dubbed “Global Helmet Vaccine Initiative “was
    2launched on Thursday in Dakar by LASER International, the road safety organization. The
    3launch was in cooperation with the Senegalese ministry of telecommunications, information
    4and communication technologies, land and rail transportation. The programme is mainly
    5aimed at promoting the wearing of a safety helmet to reduce the incidence of skull and brain
    6trauma and other types of injuries related to road accident.

    7Financed to the tune of 150 million Euros per year by the International Automobile
    8Federation, (FIA Foundation) and the World Bank Fund for road safety, the programme’s
    9slogan “The Safety Helmet, An Asset for Life” will be interested in several components,
    10namely education, sensitization, distribution of helmets to school-children and the
    11organization of concerts.

    12 It comes within the framework of the United Nations “Decade of Actions for Road Safety”
    13that begins in 2011 and is aimed at promoting the wearing of helmets made in Vietnam in
    14developing countries by establishing partnerships with the ministries of the different
    15governments concerned, the private sector and international agencies. Between 2010 and
    162011, the campaign will be in some African countries, namely Senegal which has been chosen
    17as pilot for its launch, Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.

    18 The president of Laser International Afrique, Mrs Ndèye Awa Sarr, said road accidents had
    19become a global scourge, not least in developing countries, pointing out that 1.3 million
    20people died every year in the world in accidents with more than 60 million wounded. The
    21mortality rate is likely to increase to 65% in the next 25 years “if we do not guard against it”,
    22she said.

    23 In this respect, she called for a good safety policy, not least for children who are the prime
    24target of this programme. The president of Laser International Afrique announced in that
    25perspective the distribution of 1,250 helmets to school children in Senegal and a concert with
    26Senegalese rapper Didier Awadi tomorrow in the southern city of Ziguinchor, one of the
    27regions most affected by road accidents in Senegal.
