What the mapping says
Stated at the gendarmerie's 2024 review seminar in Jacqueville on 9 March 2025 by the commanding officer of the road-safety group.

impact · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The ministry claims 'une baisse du taux de mortalite routiere sur les axes equipes' without giving the number.
Caveat
A stated outcome with no value attached, which is why the entry reports the claim rather than the effect.

  1. Ministere des Transports (authority)
Claim 7 clm-d8cc4af49c19033f quantitative
by March 2026 Ivorian outlets were reporting vehicle owners with accumulated fines approaching a million FCFA and taxi drivers refusing radar-covered routes

Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The March 2026 report quotes drivers and transport operators on accumulated fines — 'Je connais des proprietaires de vehicule qui ont recu des amendes qui vont jusqu'a un million', 'En une semaine, je peux perdre l'equivalent de plusieurs jours de recette' — alongside complaints about poorly signposted infractions and drivers avoiding radar-covered routes.
Caveat
Reported testimony from affected drivers, not a survey or an audit.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
