Reimagining Transport in a Post-Pandemic World
As Asia and the Pacific emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers have an opportunity to adopt a “build forward better” approach to transport development.
The Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF) is a global multi-donor fund managed by the World Bank. Its mission is to help governments develop road safety management capacity and scale up road safety delivery in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The GRSF provides grant funding, knowledge, and technical assistance designed to scale up the efforts of the LMICs to build their scientific, technological, managerial, and delivery capacities for road safety.
Priorities
- Poverty
- Vulnerable road users
- Gender
- Transport decarbonization
