Capacity of National Societies with regard to road safety

 

Many Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies are already active in promoting road safety and responding with aid to victims. As a first step of mapping National Society competencies in this area, the Federation Secretariat undertook a survey of its National Society members during the summer of 1999. This Report reflects the findings of that survey and reflects the common experiences and challenges facing National Societies in this field. It also provides many new ideas and points of view on how National Societies could address the issue of road safety in the future.
