- W577193731 abstract "This paper describes how the Nordic countries generally have been successful in addressing their road safety problems. Norway and Sweden compete with the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (UK) about having the lowest road accident risk in the world. Denmark, Finland and Iceland have below average risks compared to other European countries. Consequently, these five countries have relevant competence to offer other countries and transfer of road safety knowledge to developing countries has been on the agenda since 1979. Altogether, the Nordic countries have since then supported 25 road safety interventions. In this paper 16 of these interventions have been reviewed. Most are national projects addressing road safety in the urban as well as the rural contexts. The paper highlights project performance and results in respect of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impacts, sustainability and lessons learned based on a systematic analysis of available evaluation and review reports from the international development agencies in the Nordic countries and from other sources. Cooperating partners are developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin-America. The analysis shows that all projects are highly relevant, and that the interventions had some success in establishing the necessary institutional framework including a road safety committee and a secretariat. Impacts in terms of reduction of accident risk due to the interventions have not been established, with the possible exception of Botswana. The implementation of effective road accident countermeasures, especially countermeasures requiring multi-sector co-operation, e.g. between the Ministry of Transport and the police, appears to be a major challenge. The national and Nordic partners’ commitment is often weak and usually only short-term, typically 3 – 5 years. Sustainability of interventions has not been clearly established, and there are examples of subsequent similar road safety interventions financed by another international partner. The time perspective required for succeeding and demonstrating results is usually more than a few years. It is also obvious that more attention must be given to promote the multi-sector co-operation indispensable for effective road safety work and the implementation of effective countermeasures. To achieve accident reduction on a national level, larger projects are needed, and resources should be more concentrated geographically. Further, clearer priorities for countermeasures chosen and integration of the implementation phase with the projects are required. Finally, systematic evaluation and research are necessary to demonstrate results and to identify useful approaches and best practices." @default.
