16 June | Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – The International Road Federation (IRF) continues to strengthen its partnership with the Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS) through ongoing efforts to build local capacity and improve road safety outcomes across the country following its recently concluded training programme with the Tanzania Road Safety Initiative (TARSI).

As part of the IRF Road Safety Audit (RSA) Training Programme, supported by the TotalEnergies Foundation, IRF Lead Trainer Eur Ing Miguel-Angel Serrano Santos met with representatives from TANROADS and other road safety organisations to discuss future collaboration opportunities aimed at advancing professional expertise and institutional capacity within Tanzania’s transport sector.

The conversation focused on expanding capacity-building activities across IRF’s five learning verticals: road safety, sustainable asset management, traffic engineering and intelligent transport systems, digitisation and automation, and road project management.

Potential training areas that could support Tanzania’s evolving infrastructure and mobility priorities while strengthening the long-term capabilities of national institutions were also discussed.

Building on the success of the RSA programme, emphasis was placed on the need to establish a sustainable national ecosystem for road safety auditing, bringing together government agencies, professional bodies, academic institutions and industry stakeholders.

The meeting marked an important step in defining future areas of cooperation between IRF and TANROADS, reinforcing a shared commitment to safer roads, stronger institutions and sustainable transport development in Tanzania.
