The Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety (the Alliance) is a collection of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that implement programs and advocate for safer roads around the world. Our member NGOs are often set up by everyday citizens responding to needs they see around them. NGOs can fill government gaps by providing immediate solutions, or they can influence decision making through advocacy and education. They play a vital role in the growing worldwide movement to reduce the devastating effects of traffic injuries. With interventions based on evidence for what works, our NGOs help save lives.
The Alliance was established in 2011 by NGO members of the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) and currently represents more than 350 member NGOs working in road safety from more than 100 countries around the world.
The Alliance was established in response to demand from NGOs worldwide for a forum where they can share knowledge and collectively advocate for road safety and the rights of victims of road traffic crashes. The Alliance provides services to its members in three key areas: 1) a strong network, 2) advocacy and accountability, and 3) capacity building.
The Alliance is a registered nonprofit under Swiss Civil Code Article 60-79.
