  Madagascar-based ONG Lalana specialised in transport and rural development. Active since 1998, it aims to contribute to the development, particularly in rural areas, through better transport infrastructure, advocacy, education and other road safety initiatives. (https://www.lalana.org/) I've supported Lalana since we worked together between 2012 and 2015, when I was based in Madagascar with international NGO Transaid. In May 2019, I started a volunteering role as a research and strategy adviser and later in the same year I became board member of the organisation. Together we are mobilising partners and funds to improve data collection and analysis on road safety issues in Madagascar, a long neglected but extremely important topic. Show less
