**Organizational Context**:
The Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP) is a hosted programme of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). The Global Road Safety Partnership’s mission is to reduce death and serious injuries as a result of road crashes in low
- and middle-income countries. According to the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries claim approximately 1.35 million lives each year and tremendously affect health and development in low
- and middle-income countries. Globally road traffic deaths are the leading cause of death among people aged between 5 and 29 years and cost governments approximately 3% of GDP. Road traffic injuries and deaths represent a manmade humanitarian crisis and GRSP/IFRC are committed to evidence-based interventions to address this crisis.

The Global Road Safety Partnership works in a number of low
- and middle
- income countries to reduce road crash deaths and serious injuries. In particular, GRSP supports policy change and implementation on the national and sub-national level through the provision of grants and technical assistance to local civil society organizations and Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies. GRSP also builds the capacity of road police in a broad range of countries under various road safety initiatives (e.g Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety, World Bank-Global Road Safety Facility, United Nations Road Safety Fund, Asia Development Bank) to strengthen their ability enforce road safety policies.

GRSP’s Road Policing Capacity Building Programme’s objective is to support the ongoing development of road policing agencies in selected cities to effectively and efficiently enforce road safety-related policies utilizing international good practice methods and interventions. GRSP achieves this objective through the provision of targeted technical assistance and capacity building activities, following detailed assessments.
