A Conversation with Dr Anne Kamau
"With or without the pandemic, children's safety should be a priority." - Dr. Anne Kamau.
Kenya consistently ranks among the countries with the highest traffic fatalities in the world - #18, according to the World Health Organization, and some estimates put it even higher. One of the most alarming statistics is that 1 in 10 traffic fatalities in Kenya is a child.
I recently spoke with Dr. Anne Kamau, Research Fellow at the Institute for Development Studies at the University of Nairobi, about her research on transportation and children’s safety. Her research, funded by the Volvo Research and Education Foundations (VREF), is in collaboration with Dr. Regina Obilie Amoako-Sakyi at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana. This interview is part of our ongoing project on Global Mobility Research, also funded by VREF.
