The project aims to bring about safer behaviours by motorcycle users on the roads by reviewing the existing legal framework, developing model action plans and raising the awareness and knowledge of users based on a behavioural study.

Tunisia remains one of the countries whose average death rate following a road accident remains high with an average rate of 22.8 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. 

Deaths following a motorcycle accident increased from 21% in 2013 to 31.2% in November 2019.

In 2019, there were 1724 motorcycle accidents which resulted in 307 deaths and 2016 injuries. 

The project targeted three pilot Tunisian Governorates as part of a progressive approach that can be extended to the national level.

It focused on vulnerable populations such as youth and rural women workers, those most impacted by motorcycle crashes, by providing training and sensitization to motorcycle users.
