A road safety progress review funded by the World Bank in February last year found that road infrastructure in Liberia is in poor condition, vehicles using the roads are often not roadworthy and drivers have little training on vehicle operation.

The National Road Safety Action Plan has been launched through a collaboration of the Ministries of Transport, Health, Education, Justice, and Public Works, with US$22.1 million from the World Bank, the African Development Bank, and the German development agency, GIZ.
