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.
De Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is een innovatieve en onafhankelijke Amerikaanse organisatie voor buitenlandse hulp die voorop loopt in de strijd tegen wereldwijde armoede door zich te richten op economische groei, versterking van instellingen, goed beleid, verantwoordelijkheid van landen zelf en resultaten.
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”.
