(Table 16), Burkina Faso, Gabon, Gambia and Togo are as yet to initiate steps
to adopt a Safe Systems Approach to road safety management. There are no OIC member
countries in the Africa region practising state of the art SafetyManagement practices and neither
are there any countries in this region that rate highly across all the pillars.

Note: A weighting was applied to the WHO data to derive the above summary scores in each pillar. These are based
on the number of Yes/No responses per Pillar; the proportion of 2-wheeled vehicles in the population, the number
of traffic laws applied etc. as shown in Appendix 3. A score of 1 is poor and 5 is excellent.
