GRSF's Online Road Safety Training ⌵︎
The new e-learning training “Think Road Safety – Do Your Part” was launched in FY20 for World Bank Staff and Clients, with support and funding of the WB Open Learning Campus Initiative and the Government of the Republic of Korea.
The training promotes a modern systems approach to road safety and provides an introduction to road safety, impacts caused by injuries and deaths, global data on road safety, and the global plan of action for safety improvement. The training was available in three different formats: Facilitated and Self-paced for external partners; and Self-paced for World Bank staff.
The internal self-paced version of this training is mandatory for all transport staff and is tailored to the specific needs of World Bank operations.
The external self-paced version of the training is available to policymakers, planners, researchers and any other persons interested in road safety. The online course enables the GRSF to reach beyond World Bank staff, disseminating knowledge globally. With key internal and external partners, special training programs were also delivered in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Washington D.C.
In addition, with support and funding of the same partners (WB Open Learning Campus Initiative and the Government of the Republic of Korea) GRSF hosted a blended training (online + in-person training in Seoul). GRSF convened delegations from 6 countries for a week-long road safety training, led by GRSF staff and Korean experts.
