iRAP was delighted to join Ministers, 260 speakers and a reported 5,000 attendees from 120 countries at the 4th\u00a0Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety<\/a>, held from 15-20 February (inclusive of Side Events) in Marrakech, Morocco.<\/p>\n

Organized by the Kingdom of Morocco with the World Health Organization (WHO), the conference brought together leaders and experts from around the world to review progress at the midpoint of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030. Commitments and plans to accelerate action towards the Sustainable Development Goals\u2019 (SDG) target of halving global road deaths and injuries by 2030 were shared.<\/p>\n

iRAP shared our partners\u2019 success utilising the iRAP methodology and tools to eliminate high-risk roads in countries, and the lifesaving potential of achieving UN Targets 3 and 4 by 2030<\/a> with Ministers, national delegations and government authorities shaping their next five-year plans.<\/p>\n

Globally, achieving more than 75% of travel on 3-star or better roads for each road user will save an estimated 300 million deaths and injuries over the life of treatments, reduce global road trauma by a third and deliver over $8 of benefits for each $1 invested.<\/p>\n

What a busy week it was!<\/p>\n

Ten Steps to 2030 for Safer Road Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n

iRAP\u2019s full day Side Event co-hosted with the International Road Federation (IRF) and World Road Congress (PIARC) explored the road safety impact of the\u00a0Ten Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure<\/a>, including its implementation success in countries (Tanzania<\/a>;\u00a0Senegal<\/a>;\u00a0Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan<\/a>;\u00a0Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal<\/a>), and its life-saving potential as a template that can be adopted by any country to achieve safer roads and mobility for a sustainable future for all. The\u00a0Gary Liddle Memorial Trophy<\/a>\u00a0was presented recognising the world\u2019s best performing road authority\/s eliminating high-risk roads.<\/p>\n
