Building Road Safety Coalitions with NGOs and the Private Sector Training Course

Building Road Safety Coalitions with NGOs and the Private Sector Training Course 

Introduction

Building sustainable road safety coalitions is essential for achieving long-term reductions in traffic fatalities, enhancing mobility systems, and driving community-centered safety improvements. As governments adopt Vision Zero strategies, the role of NGOs and private-sector partners has become increasingly significant in influencing policy advocacy, generating data-driven insights, and promoting innovative transport safety solutions. Building Road Safety Coalitions with NGOs and the Private Sector Training Course provides a comprehensive roadmap for developing collaborative, high-impact coalitions that strengthen national and local road safety ecosystems.

In a rapidly evolving mobility landscape influenced by smart transportation, public–private partnerships, and evidence-based interventions, the ability to build strong alliances is crucial. This course equips participants with advanced skills in stakeholder engagement, strategic communication, donor alignment, social impact measurement, and coalition leadership. Through practical case studies, multidisciplinary strategies, and actionable frameworks, participants will learn how to elevate road safety outcomes and drive measurable, sustainable change.
