16. Leveraging MDB support through
donor funding…
MDBs, individually in their respective regions and
collectively through the shared approach, are scaling up
their investments in road safety and transfer of road
safety knowledge to developing and emerging countries
But the goal of reducing road traffic
fatalities that are forecast to rise
from nearly 1.3 million deaths
// each year to more than 1.9 million
by 2020 remains an enormous
challenge!

17. To fully scale up road safety, there is an urgent need for
capacity building, demo projects & research on…
Road safety Safer roads Safer
management and mobility vehicles
Safer road Post-crash
users response
This requires substantial grant financing
Donors can assist by establishing a Global Road Safety
Incentive Fund to be managed jointly by the MDBs

18. Required road safety infrastructure investments of low
and middle income developing countries…
$315 billion*
Estimated country support packages under MDB road
safety initiative…
$900 million
Initial start-up program over a 3-year period…
$70 million
Economic benefits…
$1.5 trillion*
* International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) estimates
