The sheer scale of health losses from
road crashes makes road safety a development priority for
the health and transport sectors of low and middle-income
countries (LMICs). Poorer population groups bear a
disproportionate burden of these health losses which are
generally influenced by socio-economic factors and other
social and environmental determinants, and increasing
emphasis is being placed on global health promotion and
equity as a core, crosscutting development strategy. Country
development aims to promote higher living standards for all,
with an emphasis on improved health, education and
people's ability to participate in the economy and
society. Improving road safety in LMICs contributes to the
achievement of these development goals by addressing the
vulnerability of citizens to catastrophic death and injury
arising from road crashes and requires large-scale
investments in infrastructure, institutions, vehicle fleets
and the health and wellbeing of individuals. World Bank road
safety projects have usually been components of larger road
infrastructure and urban transport investment operations,
and implemented as fragmented, single-sector initiatives.
However, it became evident that a focus on measurable
results and longer-term sustainability was critical to
success. Hence the World Bank is now promoting safe system
road safety projects that aim to simultaneously strengthen
institutional capacity and accountability while seeking
rapid improvements in safety performance for all road users.
Country guidelines have been prepared to support this new
approach. This report summarizes such guidelines for country
road safety engagement. |
