KEETMANSHOOP, 1 NOV – National Road Safety Council (NRSC) Chairperson, Eliphas !Owos-Oab called on regional road safety forums to engage in road prevention activities aimed at promoting traffic safety.
Speaking at a road safety workshop in Keetmanshoop, //Kharas Region on Wednesday, !Owos-Oab said NRSC regional safety forums are invisible in the performance of their mandate of promoting road safety in their respective regions.
He noted each region has been allocated N$100 000 annually to execute road safety activities, however the funds can only be paid out if the regions submit their annual activity plans and budget.
Such activities include road safety awareness campaigns, coordinating activities with law enforcement regional agencies, schools and civil society among others.
“So far it, is only the Erongo Region that is undertaking their call as a regional road safety forum, which has drastically helped the region in the promotion of road safety,” he noted.
!Owos-Oab said Namibia is signatory to the United Nations (UN) Decade of Action for Road Safety, which requires annual national reports in terms of road accident prevention and safety activities.
The 2011 to 2022 UN road safety declaration seeks to save millions of lives by building road safety management capacity; improving the safety of road infrastructure; further developing the safety of vehicles; enhancing the behaviour of road users; and improving post-crash response.
!Owos-Oab said that in response to the UN declaration, Namibia so far is the only African country that has integrated road safety in the school curriculum.
“If children receive road safety education as part of their normal school curriculum, it will help curb road and pedestrian accidents as it is recognised globally as being one of the most effective ways of providing children with the knowledge,” he said.
