The 15th United Nations Road Safety Road Safety Collaboration meeting (UNRSC) is taking place on 16-17th April 2012 in Washington DC. The meeting is being hosted by the World Bank and this meeting will be a landmark event for YOURS as we launch our brand new publication, The Youth and Road Safety Action Kit!
About the UNRSC
In April 2004, the United Nations General Assembly resolution A/RES58/289 on “Improving global road safety” invited WHO, working in close cooperation with the United Nations regional commissions, to act as coordinator on road safety issues across the United Nations system. The World Health Assembly accepted this invitation in May 2004 and WHO subsequently set up the UN Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) which holds biannual meetings to discuss global road safety issues.
The 15th UNRSC Meeting – a momentous occasion for YOURS
You may have already seen a sneak peak of our Youth and Road Safety Action Kit on Facebook and Twitter but the wait is officially almost over as we will be launching our first publication at the UNRSC. It is indeed a very exciting moment for us as an orgnanization and we are looking forward to the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration picking up our kit and taking it back to their respective organizations. Online, the Kit will be available for download and view electronically and will be officially launched on this date! Excited? We certainly are!
While the launch of the kit is just part of the 15th UNRSC meeting agenda, it is understandably an important slot for us to share our work with the world.
