In 2010, more than 100 countries
co-sponsored a landmark resolution by the United Nation (UN)
General Assembly - a decade of action for road safety to
stabilize and then reduce forecasted global traffic
fatalities by 2020. From 1980 to 2010, road fatalities as a
share of population rose about 13 percent worldwide, but
they rose by more than 75 percent in developing East Asia
(including China) and by 66 percent in South Asia (including
India). Awareness and advocacy have strengthened over the
past five years, but these data suggest that developing
countries, especially in the middle-income group, will fail
to attain the 2020 goal set by the decade of action. Now
midway to the end of that decade, countries are set to meet
in Brazil in November to discuss ways to accelerate progress
toward the 2020 goal. The World Bank has ramped up its
funding and focused on supporting stronger road safety
management, including enforcement capacity, vehicle safety,
data management systems, and engagement with civil societies
and the private sector. |
