Global Advocacy and Grants Programme (Jan 2012 – Apr 2022)

According to the World Health Organization, evidence-based legislation which is effectively enforced reduces road traffic injuries and
fatalities. However, only 7% of the world’s population is covered by adequate laws which addresses key behavioural risk factors.
Through the Global Advocacy & Grants Programme, GRSP provides financial and technical support to organizations advocating for the
passage and implementation of evidence-based road safety policies in order to achieve long-term and sustainable reductions in road
traffic deaths and injuries.
