Ministerial Declaration and Country Data (APRAD)
1) Ministerial Declaration
 The Ministerial Conference on Transport, which was held in Busan in Nov. 2006, adopted the ESCAP Ministerial Declaration on Improving Road Safety in Asia and the Pacific (PDF).
The Declaration includes the goal to “save 600,000 lives and prevent a commensurate number of serious injuries on the roads of Asia and the Pacific over the period 2007 to 2015” and includes a list of road safety goals such as, for example, to “develop the Asian Highway as a model of road safety”.
The Declaration requested the Executive Secretary fo ESCAP "to develop, in consultation with the members and associate members of the Commission, a set of goals, targets and indicators, to be achieved by 2015, in order to assess and evaluate road safety progress". Such a set of road safety goals, targets and indicators (PDF, xls) has been developed and refined at a series of ESCAP meetings, including the fourth session of the Committee on Managing Globalization, as well through written comments received from governments, international organizations and experts.
2) Country data to assess progress
(New version of the Asia-Pacific Road Accident Database (APRAD))
Qulitative and quantitative baseline information for the set of goals, targets and indicators has been collected by the Secretariat. Information contained in the data files below is based on earlier versions of the Asia-Pacific Road Accident Database (APRAD), country reports on road safety submitted to the Secretariat by governments in 2006 and 2007, as well route-specific Asian Highway data provided regularly by governments to the Secretariat. In essence, the data provided here amount to a new version of APRAD (old version of APRAD).
ESCAP members and associate members are encouraged to review the files below, and/or to complete the Template (xls, 48KB) and return to the Secretariat at <escap-ttd "at" un.org>.
