The Global status report on road safety 2015, reflecting information from 180 countries, indicates that worldwide the total number of road traffic deaths has plateaued at 1.25 million per year, with the highest road traffic fatality rates in low-income countries. Africa’s roads are the world’s deadliest for a multitude of reasons including lax enforcement of traffic rules (much of that due to rampant corruption), poor road conditions, lack of pedestrian infrastructure such as pavements and crossings, and dismal accident and emergency care-The Economist. As a result, traffic accidents kill more people than malaria is some African countries. Showcased are images that seek to understand the genesis of these outrageous statistics. In collaboration with Amend, an organsation that develops, implements and evaluates evidence-based programs to reduce the incidence of road traffic injury in Africa, the project went over the past 5 years to Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Ethiopia and Ghana.
