Abstract

Basic measures to address road traffic injuries in Kenya have been characterised by a lack of strong political will, concern and priority. The response has often been piecemeal and ad hoc and characterised by high vigilance following a major road crash that gradually tailed off with the passing of time. There has, however, been an important turn since 1 February 2004, with the government enforcing implementation of new road safety rules for public transport. However, the process leading to the implementation revealed gaps in partnership and dialogue between the different agencies and stakeholders. An initial assessment confirmed that these gaps had not yet been addressed. The aim of this paper is to underscore the urgent need to promote partnership and dialogue between different stakeholders in the implementation of new road safety rules in Kenya. Important elements for a road safety partnership and dialogue strategy that are highlighted in this paper include: securing involvement of all stakeholders continued high political concern and priority inclusive transport policy and practice research and evaluation of implementation awareness raising, publicity and empowerment. l/ligl/ulg

在肯尼亚实施新的道路安全规则的伙伴关系和对话
肯尼亚处理道路交通伤害的基本措施的特点是缺乏强烈的政治意愿、关注和优先次序。这种反应往往是零零碎碎和临时的,并且在发生重大道路交通事故后高度警惕,随着时间的推移逐渐减少。然而,自2004年2月1日以来,随着政府强制实施新的公共交通道路安全规则,情况发生了重大转变。然而,导致执行的过程暴露了不同机构和利益攸关方之间在伙伴关系和对话方面的差距。初步评估证实,这些差距尚未得到解决。本文的目的是强调在肯尼亚实施新的道路安全规则时,迫切需要促进不同利益攸关方之间的伙伴关系和对话。本文强调的道路安全伙伴关系和对话战略的重要要素包括:确保所有利益攸关方的参与,继续高度关注和优先考虑包容性运输政策和实践,研究和评估实施情况,提高认识,宣传和赋权。l / ligl / ulg
