The WHO’s 2023 Global Status Report shows a marginal decline in road fatalities, from 1.35 million in 2016 to 1.19 million in 2021, however the toll remains unacceptably high. Road crashes remain the leading cause of death for young people aged 5–29, and faster progress is needed to achieve the SDG target to halve the fatalities by 2030. As the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims approaches, join Development Impact’s ieConnect program and the Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF) for a discussion on how evidence-based data and digital technologies can inform and transform road safety policies in resource-constrained settings.
This webinar will highlight innovative approaches to collecting, analyzing, and leveraging data for diagnostics and evaluations. The ieConnect team will delve into its work in Nairobi, Kenya, where diagnostic tools, data analytics and impact evaluation are informing road safety policies and incentivizing safer driving. The Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF) will demonstrate how to operationalize these data for the development of national policies, institutional accountability, and for leveraging road safety investments.
