WHO and CJID develop Africa’s first road-safety media guidelines
The World Health Organization and the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development have begun work on what Premium Times described as Africa’s first road-safety media guidelines. The initiative addresses a region responsible for about one-fifth of global road deaths despite having only three per cent of the world’s registered vehicles.
The World Health Organization and the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development have begun developing Africa’s first road-safety media guidelines, Premium Times reported. The planned guidelines are being created against a severe regional road-safety burden. Africa accounts for about one-fifth of global road fatalities, according to the supplied material.
The region has only three per cent of the world’s registered vehicles, meaning its share of reported road deaths is substantially higher than its share of vehicles. The source does not provide details about the guidelines’ proposed content, publication date or intended users. It also does not identify the countries or media organisations expected to participate in the development process.
