AfroSAFE webinar March 2025
Helmets on heads: A call to action to address motorcycle safety in East Africa.
In this talk, Sam Clark will present on how the increasing number of road traffic fatalities and serious injuries linked to motorcycle use in sub-Saharan Africa has resulted in many INGOs advocating for the adoption of global helmet standards. This presentation examines the importance of context in defining what the appropriate solutions should be in terms of the introduction and implementation of new helmet standards to start saving lives on Kenya’s roads now
