Global Road Safety Partnership
May 2008

The Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP) brings together governments and governmental agencies, the private sector and civil society organisations to address
road safety issues, focusing on low and middle-income countries. GRSP is a hosted programme of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), based in Geneva, Switzerland. Traditionally, road crashes have been seen as a
problem for the transport sector. However, the direct costs of the growing number of crashes falls mostly on the health sector, businesses and families. Today it is widely acknowledged that many sectors have a role to play in the prevention of crashes, deaths and injuries. GRSP brings together these sectors at the global, national and local government level in order to help create sustainable partnerships and implement effective road safety programmes. GRSP shares knowledge, provides advice on good practice, and facilitates and implements projects in a growing number of countries.
