Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) and
the World Bank jointly issued the world report on road
traffic injury prevention on world health day 2004,
dedicated by the WHO to the improvement of global road
safety. The report's publication signaled a growing
concern in the global community about the scale of the
health losses associated with escalating motorization and a
recognition that urgent measures had to be taken to
sustainably reduce their economic and social costs. The
purpose of these guidelines is to promote a safe system
approach to road safety management and specify a management
and investment framework to support the successful
implementation of the world report recommendations. The
guidelines provide practical procedures designed for
application at a country level to accelerate knowledge
transfer and sustainably scale up investment to improve road
safety results. They have been prepared to assist country
road safety professionals, World Bank and regional
development staff, international consultants, community
groups, private sector organizations and all other global,
regional and country partners and stakeholders supporting
country road safety investments.
