      \n
    • Youth most at risk: Road crashes are the leading cause of death for young Ugandans aged 15\u201329.<\/li>\n
    • Economic burden: Families are pushed into poverty due to medical bills, disability care, and loss of income.<\/li>\n
    • National cost: Uganda loses an estimated 5% of GDP annually to road crashes.<\/li>\n
    • Global goals undermined: Road crashes hinder Uganda\u2019s progress on SDG 3 (Health), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
