Abstract: With more than 1.3 million people killed and between 20 and 50 million injured in road crashes each year worldwide, road safety remains a huge challenge for authorities. This challenge is even greater in African contexts. Indeed, a large part of the population has to circulate in unsafe conditions. The response of the authorities is not straightforward as the economic and political situation is not suitable for a road safety policy. Interventions are still possible and can be included among the pillars defined by the WHO (infrastructure, users, vehicles, post-crash response and management). Road safety management suggests that the public response must be organised, conducted in cooperation with stakeholders. The results of the research proposed in this paper show that the situation in this way, although different for each country, remains unsatisfactory. There is room for improvement in order to face the future. They are presented as opportunities to improve the situation.
