The 5-year agreement will facilitate collaboration between the IDB and iRAP to promote programs and projects to significantly improve the safety of the roads in Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p>Over 110,000 people were killed and more than 1 million were seriously injured in road crashes in Latin America in 2016, at a cost of USD$224 billion or 4.4 per cent of GDP (WHO, 2018).<\/p>\n<p>The partnership will focus on delivering a measurable reduction in road trauma in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Global Road Safety Performance Targets, particularly the Target 3: \u201cBy 2030, all\u00a0 new roads achieve technical standards for all road users that take into account road safety, or meet a three star rating or better\u201d; and Target 4: \u201cBy 2030, more than 75% of travel on existing roads is on roads that meet technical standards for all road users that take into account road safety\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement will pave the way to implement Road Assessment Programmes (RAPs), following the iRAP methodology in Latin America and the Caribbean, which will help reduce the number of casualties and serious injuries caused by road accidents in the region.<\/p>\n<p>The work of iRAP and the IDB will also focus on reviewing the methods utilized in evaluating previous investments in road safety infrastructure and providing guidance and recommendations for future investments, with an emphasis on methods for measuring the program effectiveness. Both institutions will also develop communications plans to raise public awareness and training to build capacity compliant with the <a href=\"https:\/\/irap.org\/nl\/3-star-or-better\/?et_open_tab=et_pb_tab_0#mytabs|0\">3 star<\/a> or better road safety standard.<\/p>\n<p>By achieving greater than 75 percent of travel in Latin America and the Caribbean on 3-star or better roads by 2030 the region could avoid up to 400,000 fatalities and serious injuries with a benefit of $10 for every $1 spent, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaccinesforroads.org\/business-case-for-safer-roads\/\">iRAP\u2019s Business Case for Safer Roads.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>EINDES<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.irap.org\/Latest_News\/Media_Release_iRAP_IDB_MOU.pdf\">Download de volledige persmededeling<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Inter-American Development Bank<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Inter-American Development Bank is devoted to improving lives.

De organisatie is actief in meer dan 100 landen en werkt samen met overheden, ontwikkelingsbanken, mobiliteitsclubs, onderzoeksorganisaties en ngo&#x27;s op het gebied van verkeersveiligheid om hen gratis tools, systemen en trainingen aan te bieden om hun wegen veiliger te maken. De sterrenbeoordelingsmethodologie van iRAP biedt een eenvoudige en objectieve maatstaf voor het veiligheidsniveau dat in de weg is &#x27;ingebouwd&#x27; voor inzittenden van voertuigen, motorrijders, fietsers en voetgangers. Een weg met 1 ster is het minst veilig en een weg met 5 sterren is het veiligst. De liefdadigheidsorganisatie heeft invloed gehad op de veiligheid van meer dan 1,80 biljoen dollar aan infrastructuurinvesteringen, heeft meer dan 1,3 miljoen km aan wegen beoordeeld met sterren en meer dan 1,6 miljoen km aan wegen in kaart gebracht op risico&#x27;s, en heeft wereldwijd meer dan 54.000 mensen opgeleid. iRAP is het overkoepelende programma voor regionale wegbeoordelingsprogramma&#x27;s, waaronder EuroRAP, ChinaRAP, AusRAP, usRAP, KiwiRAP, IndiaRAP, BrazilRAP, South Africa RAP, ThaiRAP en MyRAP, en wordt financieel ondersteund door de FIA Foundation, Global Road Safety Facility en FedEx.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/irap.org\/nl\/\">https:\/\/irap.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Over de Innovatieworkshop 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 2020 Innovation Workshop is being held from 17-18 February 2020, co-hosted by iRAP, the International Transport Forum and World Bank.
