Area of Specialization
For over 20 years, URRENO has pioneered intervention into the problem of road accidents in Uganda. Working in association with local and international partners. URRENO began its road safety campaigns in the early 1997’s. Since then, URRENO has become an acknowledged regional leader in this field.
Initially, our intervention was directed at accident problems generally but has, over recent years, concentrated on the need to find practical solutions to the growing road safety problems among school-going children, motorists (drivers/cyclists) and communities in urban and along highways.
