In order to improve the situation with a safer and more environmentally friendly vehicle fleet in African countries, it is essential to impose requirements on the technical status of imported vehicles in the respective countries. In support of these import rules, it is also essential to set up exporting countries’ laws.

CITA, the International Motor Vehicle Inspection Committee, participates in the project by providing its experience and knowledge on whole-life vehicle compliance in general and vehicle inspection in particular.
