AROUND THE WORLD

THE BOTNAR CHILD ROAD SAFETY CHALLENGE

The Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge is improving road safety for children on their way to school. It involves municipal level projects in medium-sized cities in seven priority countries: India, Mexico, Tanzania, Tunisia, Romania, South Africa and Vietnam. Countries were selected based on the burden of road traffic injuries and fatalities, with one country selected from each of the World Health Organisation regions.

The Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge is guided by core principles of evidence-based, multi-sectorial and innovative interventions. It commenced in 2018 under direction of Global Road Safety Partnership and Fondation Botnar, working with partners. Each project also has active participation and collaboration between government, civil society and the private sector.

Saving children’s lives: The Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge

CASE STUDIES

The use of mixed methods in the Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play an important role in planning and implementing road safety programmes and advocating for safe systems locally, nationally and internationally.

Infrastructure remediations through the Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge

In most countries, pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users share the road with motor vehicles, forcing them to negotiate high-speed moving traffic.

Case Study: Building capacity through the Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge

Children on their journeys to school where they learn and develop, should not be placed in harm’s way.

Lessons from an Innovative Multinational Road Safety Program

The Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge is guided by core principles of evidence-based, multi-sectorial, and innovative interventions.

Safe and Sustainable Mobility in Tanga and Colima under the Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge

Ensuring that children get to and from school safely should be at the top of the road safety agenda in all countries, but particularly those who bear the brunt of the global road safety crisis – low- and middle-income countries.
