by | Nov 8, 2023 | News & Blog | 0 comments

The GRSP/Asia Road Safety Seminar 2010 took place this year in Cambodia. The GRSP were pleased to inform us that they had about 200 participants this year and for YOURS it was a rewarding experience to take part. Clearly, this annual gathering on Road Safety, comprising of road safety experts, government agencies and NGOs, is an important platform for sharing and exchanging information in the Asia Region.

YOURS was once again privileged to have shared a stage with leading road safety orgnisations in presenting its goals to reduce road crashes in the coming years. The even culminated in a range of presentations geared towards planning for the coming Decade of Action for Road Safety starting in 2011 in the Asia region.

YOURS presented about the importance of focusing on young people in the Decade of Action in the Asia, an area of the world that has unprecedented levels of road traffic crashes affecting young people and costing 248 million US$ in Cambodia alone.

In additon to this, an internation presence from organisations investing in the region to reduce road crashes was visible. The event also launched the official Decade of Action Tag: Wear.Believe.Act giving a promotional edge to the action.
