Advocacy

Road Safety Advocacy

We give boda-boda riders a seat at the table — working with authorities, partners, and communities to shape policies that protect the people who keep Tanzania moving.

Why advocacy matters

Riders are often the most exposed road users and the least represented in the decisions that affect them. BOSASELI exists to change that — carrying riders' realities into the rooms where road-safety policy is discussed, and making sure those decisions reflect life on the ground.

Road Safety Advocacy

How we do it

We build relationships with local government, traffic authorities, transport associations, and health partners. We gather evidence from riders themselves, present it clearly, and push for practical changes — from safer junctions to fairer enforcement and better access to training.

Working together

Advocacy is strongest when it is shared. We convene riders, stakeholders, and partners around common goals so that change is owned by the whole community, not handed down to it.

“Riders are the experts on their own roads. Our job is to make sure decision-makers hear them.”
