OUR PRPGRAMMES

The African Institute of Driving Instructors and Road Safety Professionals (ADRIP) is an initiative by DSSAA to enhance the skills and certification of driving instructors and road safety professionals across Africa. As an online academy, ADRIP will provide structured training, workshops, and certification programs to improve driver education. By introducing modern teaching techniques, defensive driving skills, and international best practices, DSSAA aims to elevate the quality of driving instruction and contribute to reducing road accidents across the continent.

DSSAA is launching the Africa Road Transport Safety Summit and Exhibition (ARTSS EXPO) as a major platform for road safety discussions and innovations. This annual event will bring together industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers to address Africa’s road safety challenges. The summit will feature:

• High-level panel discussions on transport policies and solutions.

• Exhibitions showcasing new road safety technologies.

• Training workshops for policymakers and transport professionals.

• Networking opportunities for stakeholders.

Through ARTSS EXPO, DSSAA seeks to influence policies, drive technological advancements, and foster collaborations that lead to safer roads across Africa.

The Africa Safe School Volunteer Project (ASSVP) is DSSAA’s community-driven initiative aimed at protecting schoolchildren from road accidents. DSSAA members will actively engage in:

• Volunteering as school traffic marshals to assist children in crossing roads safely.

• Installing STOP signs and zebra crossings at school intersections.

• Conducting road safety awareness programs in schools.

• Partnering with communities and authorities to advocate for safer school zones.

DSSAA is establishing the Africa Road Safety Partnerships and Research Board (ARSPARB) to bridge the gap between research, policy, and implementation. This board will serve as:

• A hub for DSSAA’s collaboration with governments, universities, and development agencies on road safety interventions

• A research faculty studying road safety trends, driver behavior, and accident causes.

• A resource center for road safety data to guide policymakers and transport authorities.

• A platform for piloting projects and securing funding for road safety programs.
