World Health Organization-WHO. The African Road Safety Charter entered into force on 12 March 2026. The Charter marks Africa’s first continental and legally-binding road safety framework.
Adopted by African Heads of State in 2016, 15 African Union Member States were required to ratify the Charter and deposit an instrument of ratification at the African Union for it to come into effect. The Republic of Mozambique became the fifteenth country to do this on 11 February 2026.

“This ratification is a strong political statement to preserve human life and advance Africa’s collective vision of safer roads, safer vehicles and safer road users. The Charter’s entry into force gives us the legal foundation we need to hold governments accountable and drive real progress,” said Lerato D. Mataboge, African Union Commissioner for Infrastructure and Energy.
