Programmes and impact
Results that partners can check.
This page presents a short record of ZRST work supported by public or institutional sources. Detailed programme data, reports and governance records remain on their dedicated pages.
Selected results
Policy, safer school access and pedestrian evidence.
A national rule for high-risk areas
ZRST was one of the organisations advocating for lower speeds around schools and other places where people mix with traffic. Statutory Instrument No. 7 of 2020 records the legal measure. The decision belongs to the Government of Zambia.
External evidence: ZambiaLII and Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety.
Safer access delivered in Lusaka
ZRST implemented school-zone improvements at Kabanana, Kalingalinga, Lusakakasa and Jacaranda Combined. Works included raised crossings, rumble strips, footpaths, bollards and signs.
External evidence: UNDP Zambia.
Walking conditions mapped across Lusaka
Ten trained surveyors interviewed people walking in ten study areas. The work created place-based evidence on crossings, paths, traffic speed and access for people often missed in routine transport data.
External evidence: TRANS-SAFE Walkability App case study.
These records confirm delivery, legal change or measured study findings. They do not prove national crash reduction or lives saved.
Published research
A before-and-after school study with results and limits stated.
VTI Report 1226A studied safety work at two Zambian schools. It found lower vehicle speeds at the treated schools, with one site falling below 30 km/h. Pupils at the school where all planned works were completed reported less fear when crossing. Some concerns remained, so the report does not support a blanket claim that every risk was removed.
The report lists four ZRST staff among its authors and links the work to the AfroSAFE project.
