The Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF) is a global multi-donor fund hosted by the World Bank. Its mission is to help governments develop road safety management capacity and scale up road safety delivery in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The GRSF provides funding, knowledge, and technical assistance designed to scale up the efforts of the LMICs to build their scientific, technological, managerial, and delivery capacities for road safety.

Story
Reimagining Transport in a Post-Pandemic World
As Asia and the Pacific emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers have an opportunity to adopt a “build forward better” approach to transport development. ADB hosted the Asia and the Pacific Transport Forum in April 2022 to explore solutions for creating a more sustainable and decarbonized transport future for the region. The ADB publication “Reimagining the Future of Transport Across Asia and the Pacific” identifies emerging trends set to shape transport development in the coming decades and offers ideas for policymakers to consider when planning future transport strategies.
