The document (UNECA/AU) sets post‑2020 strategic directions and an African Road Safety Action Plan for 2021–2030, arguing road traffic deaths and injuries remain a major development challenge in Africa, with a higher fatality risk than other regions and illustrative country examples.
​It targets at least a 50% reduction in deaths and injuries by 2030 using a Safe System approach, calling for stronger lead agencies and funding, better data and monitoring, improved laws and enforcement, safer roads and vehicles, and stronger post‑crash care, plus cross‑cutting work on private sector/civil society engagement and digital tools.
