A long-term support programme partnership is underway between iRAP and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) from 2022-2026 to stimulate safer roads progress in low- and middle-income countries.
The partnership will include Star Rating and Investment Plan Assessments in Niger, Cote d´Ivoire and Nepal; Star Rating for Schools in Morocco and Cote d’Ivoire; capacity building through training and accreditation; and technical assistance.
The establishment of local self-governing Road Assessment Programmes linked to MCC partnerships is also a key priority.
La Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) es una agencia de asistencia exterior estadounidense, innovadora e independiente, que lidera la lucha contra la pobreza mundial centrándose en el crecimiento económico, el fortalecimiento de las instituciones, las buenas políticas, la apropiación nacional y los resultados.
iRAP Global Programme Director Greg Smith said, “We are excited to partner with MCC on this transformative 4-year compact which will bring multi-country results for safer road infrastructure, increased road safety capacity and effective investment to save lives and reduce serious injuries in the priority countries”.
