Is the meeting for Alliance members only?

No. All individuals and organizations from civil society, authorities, or the private sector working to improve road safety can participate in the regional meeting. It is also important to remember that road safety touches on many other elements of the Sustainable Development Goals (such as poverty, education, gender equality, or economic growth). So any organization seeking to advance the SDGs is welcome!

On the third day of the event, however, an exclusive meeting of Alliance members will be held.
