APRSO has continued its productive engagements in our member country Bhutan this week as part of a Safe System Maturity Assessment for Road Safety.

In partnership with colleagues from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), our experts have conducted meetings with a range of key agencies in the country including:

• The Royal Insurance Corporation of Bhutan Limited
• Royal Bhutan Police
• Thimphu Thrompe municipality
• Ministry of Health
• Bhutan Construction and Transport Authority
• Ministry of Finance
• The World Bank
• United Nations
• Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)

These meetings are part of the assessment, which utilizes the global best practice tool developed by the ADB (https://lnkd.in/gE-U9fpH) to provide an assessment of country level progress in adoption of the Safe System approach for road safety.

We are looking forward to our Safe System Road Safety Workshop, which will be held in partnership with the Ministry of Infrastructure & Transport, and will outline initial findings of the assessment and include capacity building.

The grant fund for these activities was received from the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and Pacific (JFPR), financed by the Government of Japan through ADB.
