For his part, NARSA Director General Benacer Boulaajoul explained that the study evaluates the first phase of the National Road Safety Strategy (SNRS) 2017–2021, updates its content, and contributes to the development of a new action plan for the 2026–2030 period. Boulaajoul also highlighted key road safety statistics and indicators, the main pillars of the SNRS 2026–2030, and the challenges that remain to be addressed. To ensure the effective implementation of the upcoming strategy, he called for improved governance, stronger human resources, an adequate budget, regulatory reforms, and further progress in digitalization.
