Advocacy Training with Global Alliance

29 July 2017

The 2017 cohort of Global NGO Alliance Advocates will shortly start their training at the FedEx headquarters in Memphis, US. As part of a global NGO program.

The 15 Advocates represent 15 countries across five continents including Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. Following the training, delegates create an ambitious action plan for the future. To be an Alliance Advocate is an ongoing commitment to push for evidence-based road safety solutions and to be role models within the Alliance.

The 2016 Advocates are already making their mark on global road safety. In the last three months alone, we have featured significant changes in national law in Tunisia and the Philippines resulting from the efforts of 2016 Alliance Advocates, and many impacts in other countries.

The Alliance will also launch more online training courses and a new publication presenting the Alliance Empowerment Program, including the Alliance Advocate program, as the Alliance’s response to the SDGs.
