The Norwegian agency for development co-operation, NORAD, has been engaged in

road projects in Tanzania for more than thirty years. In the 1990s this work

is in the form of an institutional co-operation between the Norwegian Public

Roads Administration and its sister institutions in developing countries such

as Tanzania, Botswana and Zambia. The paper presents this co-operation and

achievements accomplished. A national road safety programme has been

developed and the paper details some of the activities undertaken within this

framework. Among them are the development and implementation of an accident

recording and analysis system, a road design manual, and a system for road

safety audit, guidelines for traffic engineering and management. The

co-operation also includes activities such as an axle load control programme,

a new driver training and licensing system together with activities

concerning enforcement, education and safety campaigns.
