    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Transportation Safety
    • Road Safety Interventions

    Background:

    • Road safety is a critical public health issue globally.
    • Effective road safety interventions require multi-sectoral collaboration and robust policy frameworks.
    • Benin, like many low- and middle-income countries, faces significant challenges in road traffic injury prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the implementation level of road safety interventions in Benin.
    • To analyze the operational logic and effectiveness of existing road safety strategies.
    • To identify gaps and challenges in Benin's road safety management system.

    Main Methods:

    • An evaluative study of road safety interventions was conducted in Benin in 2019.
    • The methodology combined a review of gray literature with a qualitative data collection approach.
    • Data were gathered through document analysis and interviews with key stakeholders in road safety management.

    Main Results:

    • Road safety is recognized as a national priority, with a lead institution and multiple involved structures.
    • Significant challenges were identified, including lack of stakeholder consensus, insufficient documentation, resources, and data.
    • Despite awareness campaigns and enforcement efforts, road conditions, vehicle fleet, and trauma care remain inadequate, leading to increasing accident-related injuries and fatalities.

    Conclusions:

    • Benin has demonstrated commitment to improving road safety through various initiatives.
    • However, substantial shortcomings persist in policy, infrastructure, coordination, and resource allocation.
    • Addressing these gaps is crucial for reducing road traffic injuries and fatalities in Benin.
