1. Welcome and Introductions.
2. Minutes of Previous meeting adopted.
3. Presentations:
Speakers
a. Eastern Alliance of Safe and Sustainable Transport, EASST (Emily Carr) presented
information about the school education project which is suitable for low and middle
income. Education materials are age appropriate targeting children up to 14 years old and
are based on active learning. The materials are to be used by teachers, police, NGOs,
local community. The education pack has been used in 8 countries and has reached
12,000 children (e.g., Armenia, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan) to date. Moldova has integrated it
in the national curriculum in partnership with a foundation in Uruguay. Impact and
evaluation of road safety revealed that awareness rose, awareness of visibility, and
increased use of seatbelts. Looking to have more in-depth evaluation and come up with
standardized package for different countries.
Summary of Comments:
AIP Foundation noted that they have developed materials in Vietnam, Cambodia and
Thailand and would like to know how to integrate it in schools.
The George Institute suggested creating a sub group to discuss and share tools and
resources and lessons learned among UNRSC members
b. The George Institute (Margie Peden) presented on a child restraint study in South
Africa, noting initially that while many resources are developed to increase safety of
children, it is extremely difficult in the real world to apply some of these resources and
principles. This study focusses on appropriate use of child restraints in Cape Town, where
there is a law for use of child restraints for children under age of 3 years. Analysed 25
years of data from pediatric hospital and also conducted focus group studies. From
analysis of nearly 200,000 records from 1991-2016, it was found that mostly boys (60%)
sustain injuries due to non-use of restraints. Also 54% of children are not restrained in
vehicles and a major issue are children in the back of ‘bakkie’ – scholar transport. Police
are also not enforcing because they themselves don’t understand the importance of using
restraints, and other limitations include high costs and no testing available for child
restraints. The next steps would be to look into adapting good practice to the local
context, conduct observational studies, look into availability and affordability study, build
capacity of road police to enforce restraints, and explore borrowing scheme through
clinics for private drivers. A major challenge identified by scholar transport drivers is the
issue of them losing equivalent of USD 50 per child if they were required to have one
child restraint per seat, because now they can fit 2 unrestrained children per one vehicle
seat. They are asking for government compensation for their lost profit if they are forced
to use child restraints.
Summary of Comments:
ASIRT noted that in the USA there are no seatbelts in school buses, an issue they
have advocated for over many years without success to date.
AIP Foundation noted children in pick-up trucks is a big problem in Asia and
government introduced new laws to ban children in pickup trucks but had to withdraw
the law. As civil society, trying to think how to get children to school safely, so to
encourage use of public transport.
c. Global Road Safety Partnership (Atsani Ariobowo) provided a brief update about the
new GRSP program, the Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge (CRSC). This programme
is running in 6 countries (Romania, Vietnam, Mexico, Tunisia, India and South Africa)
being led by NGOs focusing on a range of child safety issues and working multi-
sectorally, encouraging private sector engagement. The project addresses child with road
safety issues based on innovative evidence-based interventions and a capacity building
component is built in the programme to support NGOs to implement the work. Focus on
education, infrastructure, enforcement.
Comments:
South Africa representative was interested to learn more about the major
challenges, beside awareness.
d. Fundacion Mapfre (Jesus Monclus Gonzalez) – The Foundation carries out many
activities and one of them is injury prevention (non-intentional) including injuries from
fire, first aid, drowning, and road safety, with a strong focus on research, education and
awareness. Provided a brief update about child road safety programme with SafeKids
Philippines, which started in 2017. They have developed new materials, conducted
training, seminars with teachers and workshops with parents and students (children).
Need to have an evaluation component included. Shared information about several other
child road safety education programmes: focussed on speed and vulnerable road users in
Spain, to demonstrate difference of 30km/h and 50km/h in Mexico and Sao Paulo.
Supporting safe cycling in streets in Panama and another road safety project in Turkey.
Future plans are to collaborate with a road safety foundation to carry out activities in
Latin American countries.
4. Voluntary Targets and Indicators
The group were asked to consider the Indicators relevant to Targets 6-9, covering the
behavioural risk factors (Speed, helmets, restraints, alcohol/drugs, and phone use) during the
final part of the meeting and how PG4 member work may assist Member States to report
against the Indicators.
ASIRT had previously offered to provide examples of work done by Global Alliance of
NGOs on Road Safety members that may assist PG4 to think about how civil society could
assist with Pillar 4 related Targets and Indicators. The presentation included information on
NGO interventions that are implemented in partnership with local or national governments.
Examples were given about 4 NGOs work:
Tunisia: In 2017, Ambassadeurs de la Securite Routiere’s media campaign involving
celebrity ambassadors built public support for seat belt usage and led to the NGO working
with government to reactivate and enforce a seatbelt law. Road fatalities dropped 35% in the
first month in comparison to the previous year.
Slovenia: Zavod VOZIM targeted young people on nights out to change attitudes to drunk
driving. The intervention involved events, engagement with local government and event
organizers, and an award winning media campaign. A subsequent 27% reduction in road
traffic crashes due to alcohol consumption by young drivers was reported.
Vietnam: AIP Foundation used the positive results from their child helmet use, which
combined public awareness and education, access to affordable, high-quality helmets, and
monitoring and evaluation to advocate with the government, inspiring the launch of the
National Helmet Action Plan.
Tajkistan: Volunteer students gathered seat belt data and surveyed residents, that informed a
media campaign by Young Generation of Tajikistan and EASST in Dushanbe. Seat belt usage
increased by 8% and among drivers by 13.5%.
On the basis of these examples, PG4 Members were invited to consider and discuss
whether/how civil society might play a role in assisting with provision of data to assist
Member States reporting against the Indicators for the 12 Voluntary Targets.
Discussion points:
- GRSP: if in absence of national level data collection, how can we use data from
NGOs collected at sub-national/local level?
- ASIRT noted that guidance on methodologies to collect observational road use data
would be useful. This issue to be raised during the next session (M&E).
- GRSP: acknowledgement the point raised by ASIRT that some NGOs find it difficult
to resist funding from the alcohol industry, but highlighted that alcohol harm is
widespread and pervasive, and not limited to just road trauma.
- ILO: expressed concern with regards to documenting and reporting of
Voluntary Target 11 (Professional Drivers), since it wasn’t included in the summary
of indicators provided during the session this morning. The representative suggested
that Target 11 is reported under Pillar 4 and the Work-related group. NIOSH and
GRSP responded, indicating that T11 was included in PG4 discussions at the last
meeting and has only been left out of discussion today because civil society focus on
behavioural risk factors in ASIRT presentation. Collaboration with Work-related road
safety group noted as needed
- NGO Alliance - The Alliance has put together webinars on each targets, what each
target means and how NGOs could contribute.
- UPS Foundation: the need for good methodology, good data and good indicators
(KPIs) which are generic- key to measuring success -would be good to have this in
the 2020 Sweden conference agenda. GRSP responded, noting that Member States
have already agreed on the indicators so we are unable to change them, but the next
session on M&E in today’s session will be useful place to raise this issue. The
George Institute noted that response data comes from different sources, less than 100
countries provide data with less than 80% coverage to WHO. There are various
methodologies available for data collection which can be used by NGOs. International
organisations have been working on this for long time. Any kind of injury is difficult
to quantify and another problem is trying to come up with proxy on serious injuries.
There are some other proxies which can be problematic in LMIC with no access to
hospital care etc. A primary concern is that the Indicators are attached Voluntary
Targets and many countries already have ways of assessing some of these issues and
will likely continue to use that.
Summary and Recommendations from PG4 Discussions:
Sub group of interested UNRSC members to be recommended to form and share
info on RS Education – PG4 Chair to circulate a call for interested parties.
Encourage all present to participate in the M&E session before lunch today to
continue contributions to discussion about addressing Indicators for the 12
Voluntary Targets.

Research question
Save LIVES package recommends implementing and enforcing
a child restraint law
Is this appropriate in LMICs?
Is an RCT is feasible (and needed) in CPT to increase child
restraint usage?
Mixed method approach
Analysis of 25 yrs RXH data
Qualitative : Focus groups and IDIs
Data collection occurred in June/July 2018
Preliminary analysis (please do not quote without permission)
Quantitative analysis
195,545 children ,18 years seen at RXH between 1991 and
2016
Overall, most were boys (60%) but in the younger age ranges
there were slightly more girls

Mean total AIS = 2.81 (±3.36)
Mean total AIS = 2.78 (±3.09)
Qualitative study
Conducted 6 focus groups + 14 in-depth interviews with experts,
practitioners, policy makers
Main issues raised:
The law which changed in 2016 is not well respected or
understood
Children are transported to school by private scholar
transporters which carry 2 children per chair or in rural
areas on the back of “bakkies”
Child restraints are expensive and there are no testing
facilities in SA
It is not clear what the prevalence of child restraint use is
currently (suspected to be below 10%)
Scholar transporters
Need to think out the box
Not as simple as in HICs
Need to adapt good practices to the context
Next steps
Conduct observational studies + Availability and
affordability study
Capacity development for police
Borrowing scheme through well baby clinics for private
drivers
Young doctor is developing a prototype for scholar
transporters
Analyse data at RXH after 2016 (law changed in October)

OBJECTIVE to prevent all kinds of
unintentional injuries, in the conviction
that the vast majority of them are
avoidable, with particular emphasis on
road safety.
The core strategic principles are the
following ones:
Educating children and young people in the
prevention of injuries.
Raising the awareness of society.
The research: studies, congresses, etc.
