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.
