  abstract = {{R}oad traffic accidents are the major cause of mortality among people aged 15-29 years in {A}frica. {W}orld {H}ealth {O}rganisation ({WHO}) and the {W}orld {B}ank launched a {D}ecade of {A}ction for {R}oad {S}afety in 2011 with the goal of halving the number of injuries and deaths on the roads. {N}o progress has been reported in {L}ow and {M}iddle {I}ncome {C}ountries ({LMIC}s) and the number of deaths remains very high. {T}o reach the target set, there is a need for interventions in several areas. {T}his scoping review proposes to produce a synthesis by identifying the kinds of interventions and outcomes which have been carried out on the {A}frican continent. {U}sing the scoping studies method, 23 articles were selected and analysed. {T}he study shows that interventions were developed in four fields: road safety policy, health education, safety equipment and data collection. {I}t shows also that there were records of interventions in only twelve countries, mostly in {E}astern and {S}outhern {A}frica. {T}he main conclusion of this study reveals both a lack of road safety interventions and shortcomings in the assessment of those performed and selected for our study.},
