iRAP Global Operations Manager Luke Rogers was in Cambodia last week and took the opportunity to meet with Diana Mony, General Manager of Automobile Association of Cambodia.
They discussed all things road safety including iRAP partners’ work in Cambodia, an iRAP project with the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, Star Rating for Schools assessments informing lifesaving policy and school zone upgrades, local and regional road safety campaigns, and opportunities for capacity building.
Partner-led iRAP activity has already assessed 1,600 km of roads and designs, and 16 schools, influencing the safety of US$109 million of infrastructure investment in the country. A 900km assessment of the strategic road network was completed in 2024, funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
In 2025, a Working Group on Safe Schools Zones Interventions was launched, including Cambodian Government stakeholders, UNICEF Cambodia, FIA Foundation, AIP Foundation, iRAP and Prudential Cambodia. AIP Foundation, in coordination with the Cambodia Ministry of Public Works and Transport, is working to improve the safety of school journeys and a national-level training on Star Rating for Schools and the Safe School Zone Guideline is in development.
