6 Issues and Challenges Experiences shared by ESCAP countries show some issues and challenges that require remedial actions The lack of institutional capacity, knowledge and skill to support policy enforcement. (Bhutan, Pakistan) as well as technical knowledge in road design and maintenance (DPRK) The lack of financial resources to support road safety programmes. (Bhutan, Pakistan) Non-existence of full-fledge organization to implement and monitor road safety measures/policy. (Myanmar, Pakistan) The need for better collaboration between responsible agencies, including participation of private sector. (Malaysia, Pakistan) The lack of accurate accident data to evaluate policy performance. (Philippines, Bhutan, DPRK) The low level of road safety education and unsafe behavior of the public road users (Sri Lanka) Save 600,000 lives by 2015 with ESCAP It s time for commitment. It s time for action. Th@nk you Commemorating 60 years in Thailand
