Professional Driver Training Mozambique: radio jingle

Transaid’s Road Safety work continues in Mozambique, as part of an initiative led by GIZ Employment and Skills for Development in Africa (E4D), by supporting refresher training for heavy goods vehicle drivers within small and medium-size enterprises.
