Botswana's increased road traffic accidents have become a national concern, calling for evidence-based holistic interventions. This study aims to determine a statistical model that can predict the number of motor vehicle road accidents in Botswana using the binomial and generalized Poisson regression models. The data used in the study were obtained from Botswana’s Motor Vehicle Accident Fund (MVA) annual road crash claims report for 2014. And covers the years 2007-2021.
