Room: South Hall 3C, 3rd floor
Road crashes are the biggest killer of young people worldwide. More than 100,000 people are killed and injured on the world’s roads every day. The proven, high-return and evidence-based infrastructure solutions to save lives exist. Yet, there is currently a significant underfunding of infrastructure for road safety and a latent need to mobilize private financing and partnerships that deliver. It is estimated that an additional US$260 billions of financing will be required to achieve the road safety related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3.6 and 11.2 in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) over the coming decade.
This session explored the business case for investment in safer roads and mechanisms by which the investments and partnerships - necessary to achieve the target of the Decade of Action - can be mobilised.
The session addressed the following questions:
- What’s the business case for investments in safer roads and how does it translate in different regions of the world?
- How to create a conducive environment for private sector to engage?
- How can private investments be mobilised to close the funding gap?
