Transaid helps deliver driver safety in Mozambique
[ February 20, 2024 // Chris Lewis ]A Transaid-supported project has helped train more than 450 truck drivers in Mozambique over two years, with all those surveyed saying the initiative has helped them to be better at their job.
Transaid’s involvement was part of the initiative Employment and Skills for Development in Africa and funded by the German and Norwegian governments, with further support from Appload and EnergyWorks.
The project focused on several key areas, and trained 31 drivers – more than three times the initial target. Collectively, this group went on to deliver training to 452 HGV drivers over the initial two-year period.
Three specially tailored training courses were offered to drivers, including one focused around transporting cargo safely, and two specifically on defensive driving – with a mix of classroom and practical on-road instruction.
