1. Welcome and Introductions.

2. Minutes of Previous meeting adopted.

3. Presentations:

Speakers

a. Eastern Alliance of Safe and Sustainable Transport, EASST (Emily Carr) presented

information about the school education project which is suitable for low and middle

income. Education materials are age appropriate targeting children up to 14 years old and

are based on active learning. The materials are to be used by teachers, police, NGOs,

local community. The education pack has been used in 8 countries and has reached

12,000 children (e.g., Armenia, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan) to date. Moldova has integrated it

in the national curriculum in partnership with a foundation in Uruguay. Impact and

evaluation of road safety revealed that awareness rose, awareness of visibility, and

increased use of seatbelts. Looking to have more in-depth evaluation and come up with

standardized package for different countries.

Summary of Comments:

AIP Foundation noted that they have developed materials in Vietnam, Cambodia and

Thailand and would like to know how to integrate it in schools.

The George Institute suggested creating a sub group to discuss and share tools and

resources and lessons learned among UNRSC members

b. The George Institute (Margie Peden) presented on a child restraint study in South

Africa, noting initially that while many resources are developed to increase safety of

children, it is extremely difficult in the real world to apply some of these resources and

principles. This study focusses on appropriate use of child restraints in Cape Town, where

there is a law for use of child restraints for children under age of 3 years. Analysed 25

years of data from pediatric hospital and also conducted focus group studies. From

analysis of nearly 200,000 records from 1991-2016, it was found that mostly boys (60%)

sustain injuries due to non-use of restraints. Also 54% of children are not restrained in

vehicles and a major issue are children in the back of ‘bakkie’ – scholar transport. Police

are also not enforcing because they themselves don’t understand the importance of using

restraints, and other limitations include high costs and no testing available for child

restraints. The next steps would be to look into adapting good practice to the local

context, conduct observational studies, look into availability and affordability study, build

capacity of road police to enforce restraints, and explore borrowing scheme through

clinics for private drivers. A major challenge identified by scholar transport drivers is the

issue of them losing equivalent of USD 50 per child if they were required to have one

child restraint per seat, because now they can fit 2 unrestrained children per one vehicle

seat. They are asking for government compensation for their lost profit if they are forced

to use child restraints.

Summary of Comments:

ASIRT noted that in the USA there are no seatbelts in school buses, an issue they

have advocated for over many years without success to date.

AIP Foundation noted children in pick-up trucks is a big problem in Asia and

government introduced new laws to ban children in pickup trucks but had to withdraw

the law. As civil society, trying to think how to get children to school safely, so to

encourage use of public transport.

c. Global Road Safety Partnership (Atsani Ariobowo) provided a brief update about the

new GRSP program, the Botnar Child Road Safety Challenge (CRSC). This programme

is running in 6 countries (Romania, Vietnam, Mexico, Tunisia, India and South Africa)

being led by NGOs focusing on a range of child safety issues and working multi-

sectorally, encouraging private sector engagement. The project addresses child with road

safety issues based on innovative evidence-based interventions and a capacity building

component is built in the programme to support NGOs to implement the work. Focus on

education, infrastructure, enforcement.

Comments:

South Africa representative was interested to learn more about the major

challenges, beside awareness.

d. Fundacion Mapfre (Jesus Monclus Gonzalez) – The Foundation carries out many

activities and one of them is injury prevention (non-intentional) including injuries from

fire, first aid, drowning, and road safety, with a strong focus on research, education and

awareness. Provided a brief update about child road safety programme with SafeKids

Philippines, which started in 2017. They have developed new materials, conducted

training, seminars with teachers and workshops with parents and students (children).

Need to have an evaluation component included. Shared information about several other

child road safety education programmes: focussed on speed and vulnerable road users in

Spain, to demonstrate difference of 30km/h and 50km/h in Mexico and Sao Paulo.

Supporting safe cycling in streets in Panama and another road safety project in Turkey.

Future plans are to collaborate with a road safety foundation to carry out activities in

Latin American countries.

4. Voluntary Targets and Indicators

The group were asked to consider the Indicators relevant to Targets 6-9, covering the

behavioural risk factors (Speed, helmets, restraints, alcohol/drugs, and phone use) during the

final part of the meeting and how PG4 member work may assist Member States to report

against the Indicators.

ASIRT had previously offered to provide examples of work done by Global Alliance of

NGOs on Road Safety members that may assist PG4 to think about how civil society could

assist with Pillar 4 related Targets and Indicators. The presentation included information on

NGO interventions that are implemented in partnership with local or national governments.

Examples were given about 4 NGOs work:

Tunisia: In 2017, Ambassadeurs de la Securite Routiere’s media campaign involving

celebrity ambassadors built public support for seat belt usage and led to the NGO working

with government to reactivate and enforce a seatbelt law. Road fatalities dropped 35% in the

first month in comparison to the previous year.

Slovenia: Zavod VOZIM targeted young people on nights out to change attitudes to drunk

driving. The intervention involved events, engagement with local government and event

organizers, and an award winning media campaign. A subsequent 27% reduction in road

traffic crashes due to alcohol consumption by young drivers was reported.

Vietnam: AIP Foundation used the positive results from their child helmet use, which

combined public awareness and education, access to affordable, high-quality helmets, and

monitoring and evaluation to advocate with the government, inspiring the launch of the

National Helmet Action Plan.

Tajkistan: Volunteer students gathered seat belt data and surveyed residents, that informed a

media campaign by Young Generation of Tajikistan and EASST in Dushanbe. Seat belt usage

increased by 8% and among drivers by 13.5%.

On the basis of these examples, PG4 Members were invited to consider and discuss

whether/how civil society might play a role in assisting with provision of data to assist

Member States reporting against the Indicators for the 12 Voluntary Targets.

Discussion points:

- GRSP: if in absence of national level data collection, how can we use data from

NGOs collected at sub-national/local level?

- ASIRT noted that guidance on methodologies to collect observational road use data

would be useful. This issue to be raised during the next session (M&E).

- GRSP: acknowledgement the point raised by ASIRT that some NGOs find it difficult

to resist funding from the alcohol industry, but highlighted that alcohol harm is

widespread and pervasive, and not limited to just road trauma.

- ILO: expressed concern with regards to documenting and reporting of

Voluntary Target 11 (Professional Drivers), since it wasn’t included in the summary

of indicators provided during the session this morning. The representative suggested

that Target 11 is reported under Pillar 4 and the Work-related group. NIOSH and

GRSP responded, indicating that T11 was included in PG4 discussions at the last

meeting and has only been left out of discussion today because civil society focus on

behavioural risk factors in ASIRT presentation. Collaboration with Work-related road

safety group noted as needed

- NGO Alliance - The Alliance has put together webinars on each targets, what each

target means and how NGOs could contribute.

- UPS Foundation: the need for good methodology, good data and good indicators

(KPIs) which are generic- key to measuring success -would be good to have this in

the 2020 Sweden conference agenda. GRSP responded, noting that Member States

have already agreed on the indicators so we are unable to change them, but the next

session on M&E in today’s session will be useful place to raise this issue. The

George Institute noted that response data comes from different sources, less than 100

countries provide data with less than 80% coverage to WHO. There are various

methodologies available for data collection which can be used by NGOs. International

organisations have been working on this for long time. Any kind of injury is difficult

to quantify and another problem is trying to come up with proxy on serious injuries.

There are some other proxies which can be problematic in LMIC with no access to

hospital care etc. A primary concern is that the Indicators are attached Voluntary

Targets and many countries already have ways of assessing some of these issues and

will likely continue to use that.

Summary and Recommendations from PG4 Discussions:

Sub group of interested UNRSC members to be recommended to form and share

info on RS Education – PG4 Chair to circulate a call for interested parties.

Encourage all present to participate in the M&E session before lunch today to

continue contributions to discussion about addressing Indicators for the 12

Voluntary Targets.

Presentation to PG4 at 26th UNRSC meeting

Geneva, Switzerland

3-4 October 2018

Research question

Save LIVES package recommends implementing and enforcing

a child restraint law

Is this appropriate in LMICs?

Is an RCT is feasible (and needed) in CPT to increase child

restraint usage?

Mixed method approach

Analysis of 25 yrs RXH data

Qualitative : Focus groups and IDIs

Data collection occurred in June/July 2018

Preliminary analysis (please do not quote without permission)

Quantitative analysis

195,545 children ,18 years seen at RXH between 1991 and

2016

Overall, most were boys (60%) but in the younger age ranges

there were slightly more girls

Restrained Unrestrained Back of bakkie

Mean total AIS = 2.69 (±3.23)



Qualitative study

Conducted 6 focus groups + 14 in-depth interviews with experts,

practitioners, policy makers

Main issues raised:

The law which changed in 2016 is not well respected or

understood

Children are transported to school by private scholar

transporters which carry 2 children per chair or in rural

areas on the back of “bakkies”

Child restraints are expensive and there are no testing

facilities in SA

It is not clear what the prevalence of child restraint use is

currently (suspected to be below 10%)

Scholar transporters

Need to think out the box

Not as simple as in HICs

Need to adapt good practices to the context

Next steps

Conduct observational studies + Availability and

affordability study

Capacity development for police

Borrowing scheme through well baby clinics for private

drivers

Young doctor is developing a prototype for scholar

transporters

Analyse data at RXH after 2016 (law changed in October)

OBJECTIVE to prevent all kinds of

unintentional injuries, in the conviction

that the vast majority of them are

avoidable, with particular emphasis on

road safety.

The core strategic principles are the

following ones:

Educating children and young people in the

prevention of injuries.

Raising the awareness of society.
