iRAP activities have rapidly expanded around the world in recent years, stretching our resources. Additional support would enable expansion while maintaining engagement with already-active countries so that local capacity continues to develop and safe roads are built.
Support for one or more of our regions in Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, Europe and Russia, Asia Pacific or North America will make a big difference and save lives.

After decades of building roads, causes of death and serious injury are well known, as are engineering treatments to prevent them. But wide-spread knowledge and experience in putting these into practice is missing in missing in many countries.
You can help us accelerate the development and delivery of training that will help create sustainable road engineering safety programmes.

How can the safety of pedestrians in urban areas be improved? What are the complementary environmental and safety benefits of better public transport? How do we build motorcyclist-friendly safety barriers?
You can help us answer these types of questions. As a University student you can embark on a research project using iRAP data; as a national research agency you can build a dedicated safety research program; as a donor you can help generate better knowledge that can be quickly translated into practice.

At the core of iRAP is the ability for development banks, governments and road safety stakeholders to get a simple measure of a road’s safety and what economically viable options there are to save lives.
You can help us continue to provide the best tools to all of our countries free-of-charge by supporting our ongoing software and technology development.

Experienced road safety professionals can help their less-experienced counterparts by becoming mentors. For example, by helping engineers answer questions like ‘how can I build a safe pedestrian crossing?’ and ‘what is good practice road delineation?’ by phone and email, and through short-term in-country assignments. |
 |
Recent donations include computer hardware and software, online marketing credits, road inspection vehicles, printing of educational materials and seconded engineers. All of these fantastic contributions have helped unlock the full benefits of the programme in each country. |
