Road Safety Management at Institutional Level

The research will investigate the efficiency and effectiveness of current institutional arrangements in the area of road safety management. The aim is to identify how objectives are defined, agreed and met in the development of a road safety programme (effectiveness) and thereafter how resources are allocated to activities planned to effect a road safety programme (efficiency). The project will involve collecting information from the literature on the above area, developing a questionnaire that address key institutional development issues, delivering the questionnaire to a number of countries, collecting information and analysing it with regard to identify the major issues that facilitate or impede road safety management plans in road institutions in the countries concerned.
