Driver Training Initiative
In 2014 Transaid expanded its successful Professional Driver Training Project (PDTP) into its third country – a country which has one of the highest road traffic fatality rates – with an estimated 28.9 road traffic deaths per 100,000 population, compared to 3.7 in the UK*.
Transaid is working with a number of partners in country and Central Corridor Transit Transport Facilitation Agency to implement the initial 12 month programme during 2014/15 period, and already began by conducting PCV (Passenger Carrying Vehicle) training of driver trainers in Kampala.
