ROSACU’s revised five-year strategic plan aims to build a vibrant coalition that contributes to reducing road crashes and fatalities in Uganda by 25% by 2030. Our priorities include strengthening institutional systems, enhancing member capacity, and establishing sound governance frameworks. Key milestones include a fully operational secretariat, adopted coalition policies, and progress towards over 100 member network. We are also committed to improving research and knowledge-sharing, recognizing that reliable data is vital for strategic advocacy. Through partnerships, training, and evidence-based research, we aim to close Uganda’s road safety data gap and attract donor support.
To maximize impact, we are exploring innovations like crash databases, EPS, digital tools, and AI to modernize interventions. However, challenges remain – particularly resource-constrained members and inadequate research infrastructure, all of which require collective action to overcome.
As such, we urge all members to become active ambassadors, mobilizing resources, forging academic and donor partnerships, and aligning road safety work with broader development issues such as health, gender, and urban planning. Opportunities abound, but it will take consistent engagement, improved visibility, and strategic communication to fully unlock our potential and sustain momentum.
