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. Since the World Health Assembly accepted this invitation in May 2004, WHO has hosted three meetings of the UN Road Safety Collaboration. With representatives from more than 42 organizations (11 of which are United Nations agencies), the Collaboration has initiated work on the following activities: development of a series of manuals on good practice; creation of a dynamic, global web-based database on road safety legislation; completing and updating of a series of resolutions on road traffic signs and signals adapted in the European region; follow-up regional stakeholder meetings; and the establishment of an annual World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. The number of governmental and nongovernmental organizations involved and the range of sectors they represent – health, transport, safety – attest to the broad interest that exists for this new effort. Terms of ReferenceAs a first product of the Collaboration, a document entitled UN Road Safety Collaboration: a handbook of partner profiles was published. It contains an overview of the missions, road safety activities, and strengths in the area of road safety, of partner organizations, as well as useful contacts within each agency.
