The ISMAs recognise high quality safety media from around the world, they provide safety promotion and injury prevention professionals an opportunity to showcase their media initiatives.
The International Safety Media Awards were officially presented on the last day of the 15th World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion in New Delhi, India (September 2024).
iRAP and its partners received awards in the following categories:
SILVER for online/web-based category – for the Interactive reports: Empowering road safety through data analysis
Data analytics can be immensely powerful for examining large amounts of data to uncover hidden insights and, by presenting them in clever graphical ways, make the findings much easier to grasp with immediacy and impact. Furthermore, with the benefit of software such as Power BI, linkages can be made between data sets for cross-fertilisation of knowledge.
iRAP and its partners have produced a range of reports that demonstrate the power of this reporting and its potential to inform advocacy, policy-making, investment and action.

SILVER for online/web-based category – iRAP Partner Portal launches: Connecting people and possibilities
iRAP’s free Partner Portal shares valuable road safety data, resources, and the latest on safer roads progress being achieved through application of the iRAP methodology and tools. Sharing results worldwide and per country, it is empowering and connecting road safety stakeholders and Road Assessment Programmes (RAPs) working to save lives and reduce serious injuries from road crashes.
The iRAP Partner Portal shares information on progress metrics, news, knowledge (reports, maps, road safety resources, etc), training and projects occurring in countries and globally, along with valuable road safety statistics on the human and economic impact of road crashes, how safe our roads are, and the Business Case for Safer Roads of achieving the majority of travel on 3-star or better roads by 2030 (Target 4). The Portal enables partners to connect with RAP leads in countries, and contribute information to develop their own national profile, for the mutual benefit of all.
The Portal, and underlying Partner Management System iRAP Connect, are the result of the 5-Star Global Connections Initiative funded by FedEx, with additional core support of the FIA Foundation. Following its successful pilot, the Portal is now freely accessible to anyone in the world.
A film case study produced by our technical partner NTT has shared how iRAP is leveraging technology in the form of a Partner Management System and Portal to connect people, organisations and data to make roads safer in more than 100 countries. Watch case study here.
