Partnership to strengthen NGO advocacy for accountability for safer roads

20 March 2024

A new partnership to support seven NGOs to advocate for 30km/h streets has been launched by the Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety, supported by the FIA Foundation.

This partnership aims to accelerate the implementation of life-saving road safety interventions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America through practical advocacy tools designed for NGOs that can be replicated in different countries and settings. 

Seven NGO members of the Alliance will pioneer the  Alliance Accountability Toolkit  to influence their governments to implement 30 km/h zones. The Toolkit was launched in 2023 to generate stronger government accountability for road safety. It offers tangible steps, with each step accompanied with a tool to equip NGOs to advocate to the government and follow through on their responsibility to provide a safe road system for all road users. NGOs’ experiences using the tools will be captured in order to evaluate how they can be used most effectively and rolled out more widely.
