1 Private sector, government (and civil society) partnership to improve road safety: A city-based approach CODATU XV Addis Ababa. October 25, 2012 Ryan Duly Global Road Safety Partnership

2 Some background on the Global Road Safety Partnership Hosted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Business Government Created by the World Bank in 1999 to develop partnerships between business, government and civil society to reduce road deaths and injuries in low and middle-income countries Civil Society Programmes in 34 countries 2

3 Global Road Safety Initiative (GRSI) An initiative where corporate members make a five-year commitment to support capacity building and the implementation of good practice road safety interventions 3

4 Road Safety in 10 Countries project Funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies Commitment of $125 million over 5 years to the global programme 6 Consortium Partners

5 Building partnerships and capacity to improve road safety and mobility in cities 5 GRSP has developed a city based partnership approach for road safety known as the Proactive Partnership Strategy (PPS) PPS is a dynamic and continuous improvement process designed to improve road safety and mobility at a city or provincial level It relies on access to reliable road crash and injury data for both planning and monitoring purposes Successfully implemented in many Brazilian towns to improve road safety and the quality of people s lives Now being piloted in other cities in Asia (Siem Reap, Cambodia) and Africa (Lusaka and Abuja)

6 Building partnerships and capacity to improve road safety and mobility in cities PARTNERSHIPS ARE KEY The approach involves government, business and citizens in a true community partnership where together they own the road trauma problem and the solutions 6

7 Advantages and limitations of working at a city level Easier access to city leadership than at national level Easier to get all key decision makers at the table (e.g. transport, health, education and police) Data required for planning, monitoring and evaluation may be available at a city level where no national system exists Community and business involvement and local ownership Legislation and policy changes may be managed at a national level not locally 7
