Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety Launches a New Accountability Toolkit

The Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety has launched an Accountability Toolkit. The toolkit is a set of practical, web-based tools. The toolkit takes the abstract concept of accountability and identifies tangible steps that NGOs can take to hold their governments accountable for their responsibility to enable every person to travel safely and to reduce road deaths and injuries by 50% by 2030, in alignment with the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021–2030 (Global Plan). Using the toolkit, civil society advocates can: 

• Assess what your government is doing or not doing using the ACCOUNTABILITY CHECKLIST; 

• Prioritise specific interventions proven to reduce road deaths and injuries using the PRIORITY INTERVENTIONS; 

• Define what you want your government to do using the GOVERNMENT TO-DO LIST

• Build your case using the NGO TALKING POINTS, which consolidate research and case studies from around the world, to meet and influence your officials;

• Track your government’s progress in response to your asks using the ADVOCACY AND ACCOUNTABILITY TRACKER.
