EaP RSO

Funded by the EU, the Observatory houses country-level data and acts as a catalyst to strengthen national road safety data collection, management and analysis.

Our mission is to reduce road casualties through improving the quality of systematic and consolidated data collection on road traffic deaths and serious road injuries in line with best EU and international practices.

Civil society: Road safety engagement in the Eastern Partnership countries

Civil society and NGOs can play a positive role in supporting global road safety goals.

The aim of this report is to suggest ways in which road safety discussions within the EaP might be enhanced by involving this important stakeholder group. First and foremost, the report aims to demonstrate why CSOs of all types – not just those specialising in road safety – should take a keen interest in supporting the UN road safety goals.

An introduction to road safety in EaP countries

Every year around 1.2 million people lose their lives on the world’s roads and between 20 and 50 million suffer life-changing injuries. Vulnerable road users (i.e. pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclist, and users of micro-mobility devices such as e-scooters) account for over half of all road traffic deaths.

Fatality rates in Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries are more than twice as high as in the European Union. Road death and injury is a major problem in all EaP countries requiring urgent attention.
