Original press release by\u00a0AIP Foundation<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0WHO<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Vietnam Project 2000 road safety partnership was officially launched in Hanoi today, by the World Health Organization (WHO) Vietnam and the Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) Foundation, along with 15 other partners, from across civil society, academia, the private sector and international development partners to support the Government of Vietnam in strengthening road safety for children and young people.<\/p>\n

The Partnership\u2019s shared vision is to reduce the tragic loss of children and young people who die every year on Vietnam\u2019s roads from more than 2,000 deaths \u2013 about five deaths every day \u2013 to zero.<\/p>\n

The Partnership is a joint initiative of WHO, as the lead UN agency on global road safety, and the AIP Foundation, with funding support from the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety and the FIA Foundation, with the other founding partners including UNICEF, UNESCO, the embassies of Japan and Sweden, the International Road Assessment Programme, Vital Strategies, the Global Road Safety Partnership, HealthBridge Foundation of Canada, Protec, Automobile Association Vietnam, Vietnam Association for Protection of Children\u2019s Rights, Center for Injury Policy and Prevention Research of Hanoi University of Public Health, and the Academy of Construction Strategy and Cadres Training.<\/p>\n

iRAP will be proudly supporting the partnership through the Star Rating for Schools programme\u00a0and in-kind support for capacity building and advocacy.<\/p>\n

WHO Representative in Vietnam, Dr Angela Pratt said the new Partnership aims to support Vietnam achieve its own road safety goals through coordinated, evidence-based and results-focused actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tragic toll of children dying on Vietnam\u2019s roads is coming down slowly, but we need to do more. Every death is one too many. Children rely on adults to keep them safe, and to put their lives ahead of traffic. Road safety is everybody\u2019s business. That\u2019s why, today, we are delighted to formally launch the\u00a0Vietnam Project 2000<\/i>\u00a0Partnership,\u00a0<\/i>and welcome supporters and partners to join in our efforts to reduce the number of children who die on Vietnam\u2019s roads every year. This Partnership is about taking action to support Government efforts to protect Vietnam\u2019s youngest and most vulnerable road users.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founder and President of AIP Foundation Mr Greig F. Craft said the loss of 2,000 children every year represents not only profound tragedies for families but also a significant burden on the country\u2019s health system, economy, and society.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese tragedies are not inevitable though; they are preventable. So, AIP Foundation is proud to collaborate with WHO Vietnam and other partners, and together we are committed to protecting our children, safeguarding our communities and building a safer future for all, where no needless lives on the roads are lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

The specific challenges that the Partnership will focus on include:<\/p>\n
