Today, road crashes continue to represent a pressing public health challenge and the World Bank's Global Road Safety Facility continues to be at the forefront of this fight. The Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF) plays a key role in improving road safety by supporting effective road safety interventions, including the delivery of technical assistance, capacity development, improvements in infrastructure, and policy-making advice. As Board Chair of GRSF, I am pleased to present the 2021 Annual Report. Over the past year, GRSF has continued to take an active leadership role in speed management activities, including the production of global guidance, technical assistance, and research in this area. In addition, the Facility is working closely with governments around the world to support their efforts to adopt safer road infrastructure designs and to improve existing road networks to accommodate all road users. This work includes conducting assessments of high- risk roads; providing recommendations for safety improvements, and technical guidance on speed management; supporting the development and/or updating of national technical guides or norms; and supporting governments adopt crash data management systems. GRSF plays a critical role as a global road safety knowledge hub and primary partner to governments in delivering research and advisory services. Over the past year GRSF supported World Bank operations and global research in road safety through 46 grants valued at a total of $9.78 million. In 2021, the annual Call for Proposals produced seven successful grants focused on research into managing speed in low-income and UK Aid Direct-eligible countries, totaling more than $919,000. Over 70 percent of the grant funding through this program has gone to support external partners, increasing from 53 percent in 2020. The ongoing 2020-21 grant activities have improved safety delivered through World Bank loans with a total value of $2.68 billion. GRSF prioritizes engaging governments and providing global guidance on speed management that aims to support stakeholders to better understand its risks and benefits. The GRSF team actively worked to promote speed management, particularly as part of the UN Global Road Safety Week, with the production of guidance, research, and training to government officials and road safety specialists. In addition, earlier this year GRSF launched the Speed Management Hub, a critical tool for stakeholders. This online platform includes an extensive set of Frequently Asked Questions, and other key resources related to speed management, as well as technical guidance from the World Bank, GRSF, and other global partners. Finally, I would like to congratulate GRSF for their resilience during this COVID-19 pandemic. The team has adapted their approach and continued to provide impactful capacity building through global, regional, and in-country learning events despite travel restrictions, and has reached more than 6,000 participants in 16 low-and middle-income countries. Sincerely, Kelly Larson GRSF Board Chair, Bloomberg Philanthropies 1 NOTE FROM THE NEW GRSF HEAD I am pleased to submit the GRSF Annual Report Fiscal Year 2021. I would like to gratefully acknowledge the sustained support of the GRSF donors who have funded these efforts, and our global, regional, and country partners who have worked with us to help achieve our shared vision. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my predecessor, Soames Job, and the GRSF team for their contribution to the successful road safety initiatives carried out over the last year. As we start this new Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030, we look forward to working together to achieve the ambitious target of reducing road traffic deaths and injuries by at least 50 percent over that period. This can only happen through collective action and effective coordination, and the GRSF is well positioned to play a leading role in facilitating and informing the initiatives necessary to ensure sustainable success. Alrenewed focus on scaling up road safety investment in low- and middle-income countries is a top priority for the GRSF over the coming years, and more attention will be paid to ensuring safe mobility and accessibility for all road users. Supporting transport decarbonization priorities is integral to these efforts, particularly in cities, where a safer infrastructure will support the shift to public and active transport modes. I look forward to working with all of our GRSF partners to ensure safer and cleaner road travel for all. Sincerely, Said Dahdah Head of GRSF, Global Lead for Road Safety, World Bank 2 OUR IMPACT 3 BY THE NUMBERS: GRSF ACTION & IMPACT Since its inception in 2006, the Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF) has received donor pledges totaling $73.1 million.
