Eastern Partnership Road Safety Observatory

The Eastern Partnership Road Safety Observatory is a joint initiative of the five Eastern Partnership countries - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine - with the common goal of reducing road casualties by 50% by 2030.

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.

EaP RSO joins Fourth Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety

Between 18-20 February, the EaP RSO Technical Secretariat along with our local country consultants travelled to Marrakech to join the Fourth Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, organised by the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco and the World Health Organisation.

Throughout the Conference data and the role of road safety observatories were referenced as playing a critical role in helping to achieve the Global Goals. We are proud that the EaP RSO was able to play a central role in these discussions with our Deputy Head of the Technical Secretariat, Emma MacLennan leading the flagship parallel session on Leveraging Data for Road Safety on the final day of the conference.

In this first Annual Report of the EaP RSO, there is already much to celebrate – including the establishment of a new website, productive exchanges and data sharing by member countries, and evidence of a great desire to learn from best international practice. 

We invite you to download our Annual Report and learn more about our work in this founding year of the Observatory, in which we feel we have already demonstrated great potential for saving lives through good road safety data management.

EaP RSO Annual Report 2024

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.
