ABOUT THE CONFERENCE                                      RECOMMENDATION >>

This International Workshop on Road Safety Education brings a wide range of organizations from various disciplines that include transport, police, roads and health sectors, automobile and research and non- government organizations. Our focus is placed on deliberation of Key road traffic safety issues and strategies to deal with safety management in developing countries. The Workshop will allow participants to learn from each other and share experiences and expertise.

Recent trends indicate that road safety is deteriorating in developing countries. To cope with this problem, we have to develop and implant policy and programs that are based on scientific methods and successful practices from around the world. This workshop offers us an opportunity to focus at top level decision-makers and practicing personnel from different disciplines at the local levels. Road safety education discussion at political and administrative levels in all government organizations will help us in development of effective road safety policy, leadership and organizational set up.

 Road safety education in the developing countries needs to be incorporated in the curriculum and the development of training systems of road and traffic management authorities. These stakeholders include municipal and highway engineers, traffic police, road transport and motor licensing officials and all those involved in accident investigation and traffic control. Promoting capacity building programs to support these areas is crucial to successful outcomes on road safety in developing countries.

The world Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention emphasizes that of the 1.2 million people who are killed and 20 to 50 million injured or disabled globally from road crashes, 90% of the burden is borne by low income and middle income countries. Keeping this in mind, we should take advantage of this workshop and address challenges of post-crash management using scientific methods and tools.
