Implementation is already underway, with 20 regional engineers completing comprehensive training to build long-term safety assessment and countermeasure capabilities.<\/span><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p><\/td><td><a target=\"_blank\"  class=\"nt_btn nt_rounded_btn\" style=\"color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);background-color: rgba(53, 128, 159, 1);\" rel=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/irap.org\/2024\/06\/star-ratings-shine-light-on-safer-roads-for-chiles-stunning-south\/\">Click here for more information<\/a><\/td>        <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody><!--ninja_tobody_rendering_done-->\n    <\/table>\n    \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider divider_weight=&#8221;3px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_4,1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"Where-we-work-LAC\">Where we work<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/vida.irap.org\/en-gb\/home\/where_we_work\/latin-america-and-the-caribbean\" width=\"1080\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Download a summary of iRAP partner activity in every LAC country <a href=\"https:\/\/irap.org\/about-us\/where-we-work\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0(filter for Latin America)<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"Where-we-work\">Policies into practice<\/h1>\n<p>Many countries are prioritising the safety of their road infrastructure by embedding 3-star or better safety targets in policy, aligned to UN Global Road Safety Performance Targets 3 and 4.
