Road safety
Every day 3,000 people die in road traffic accidents around the globe, fifty million people are injured on the roads each year. Along with the pollution caused by exhaust emissions and the consumption of natural resources, road traffic accidents are one of the most serious consequences of individual motorisation. Developing and emerging countries are disproportionately badly affected: 85% of road deaths take place in these countries. The number of vehicles on the road worldwide is expected to break the one billion barrier by 2020. Germany can build on a wealth of experience in the field of road safety. In spite of a significant rise in mobility, the number of lives lost each year on German roads has decreased. All groups within society have worked together to achieve this improvement. On the basis of experience in Germany, GIZ supports cross-border cooperation among various stakeholders in road safety projects and initiatives. In addition weo place experts and help to shape national strategy development processes. Downloads
