12th September 2016
Step Change: An Action Agenda on Safe Walking for Africa’s Children is a joint report by the FIA Foundation and the injury prevention NGO Amend for the Global Initiative for Child Health & Mobility. The report highlights the disproportionate exposure to risk of child pedestrians in sub-Saharan Africa and calls for a concerted effort to provide footpaths and reduce vehicle traffic speeds. Showcasing examples of low-cost interventions proven to reduce child injury, the report proposes a practical action plan contributing to the Global Goals and the Habitat III ‘New Urban Agenda’.
