The RTIRN Regional Workshop on the “Prevention of Motorcycle Injuries in Africa” was held on December 02, 2009 at Alisa Hotel in Accra. It was jointly organized by the Building and Road Research Institute (BRRI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ghana, and the Road Traffic Injuries Research Network (RTIRN) with funding support from the World Bank through the Global Road Safety Facility.
The workshop was aimed at creating awareness on the global burden and risk factors associated with motorcycle injuries as well as equipping local and national participants with road safety knowledge and research skills in the prevention of motorcycle injuries. About 50 participants attended the regional workshop. The workshop was conducted in English but there was a parallel interpretation in French for the francophones.
