MEDIA ENGAGEMENT
Media is a crucial partner in ASIRT-Kenya's work. Without the involvement of media it would be difficult to sustain campaigns thus making it difficult to our objectives. Media raises the level of information and education on road safety and generates information seeking by individuals.

It enhances community awareness on the impact and scope of road crashes. It stimulates interpersonal influences via conversations with others –talk shows, interviews, features, documentaries and reinforces existing positive beliefs and behaviors
