Report:Politics of Road Safety

The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and the World Resources Institute (WRI) undertook a research project to identify the challenges to improving road safety in low- and middle-income countries, learn from stories of progress, and provide a series of strategies that can help decision makers and practitioners working on road safety reform.

The research was done in three middle-income cities: Nairobi, Mumbai and Bogotá. The three cities represent a broad range of challenges and opportunities across three different countries and continents, and they represent uneven progress.

In collaboration with local partners, the research studied diverse data to review the status of collisions, fatalities and injuries in the city, the key actors involved in addressing road safety, as well as the challenges and opportunities for improvement.
