Creating an Ecosystem exemplifying Cross Sector Cooperation Approach towards road safety of motorcycles in Kampala, Uganda
REFNo: SIR43ES

Each safe riding behavior belongs to either Priority (P), Speed (S) or Comprehension (C). So it is imperative to understand which factors affect which behavior and the extent of this effect.Therefore the objectives of this study are;
a)To identify the PPM (Push, Pull, Mooring) factors that promote each of the safe riding behaviors (PSC component).

b)To understand the extent to which push, pull and mooring factors influence the behavior of riders that have had contact with these parameters and those that haven’t.

c)To create a Theory of Change (ToC) model to propose the possible road map to changing the behaviors of riders. Leveraging on these two results above, a proposal of the possible road map to changing the behavior of riders will be made by creating a Theory of Change (ToC) table
