Who we are

Partnerships

Asia Injury Prevention Foundation (AIP Foundation) believes the most effective way to improve road safety in developing Asian countries is to build partnerships with interested parties, including nonprofits, businesses, and governments. The rationale behind this approach is that when working together towards a common goal of road safety, these partnerships can have a greater impact than in working individually.

Safe Kids Worldwide

AIP Foundation is a member of SAFE KIDS Worldwide. SAFE KIDS Worldwide is a global network of organizations dedicated to the prevention of unintentional childhood injury. Creating new child safety initiatives and supporting existing ones, SAFE KIDS is bringing together public health experts, global corporations, foundations and government agencies to address preventable risks to children.

UN Road Safety Collaboration

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.

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 non-governmental organizations involved and the range of sectors they represent - health, transport, safety - attest to the broad interest that exists for this new effort.

AIP Foundation partnered with the UN, WHO, World Bank and other NGOs to write the helmet manual (for the UN Road Safety Collaboration. The final report outlines best practices for designing and implementing a helmet program. It is available at:

The FIA Foundation is a leader in global road safety advocacy and a major supporter of road safety research, working closely with international partners like AIP Foundation to promote road safety and a sustainable approach to mobility. FIA Foundation’s initiatives include the Commission for Global Road Safety and the Make Roads Safe campaign. The Make Roads Safe campaign is calling for a global effort to tackle the worldwide road deaths epidemic, including support for a Decade of Action for Road Safety, modeled on the current UN Decade to Roll Back Malaria, in a bid to prevent the worst predictions of road deaths and injuries.
