Friends of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020

The Friends of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 is an informal group of governments and international agencies committed to making the Decade a success. The group first convened in November 2009 in the context of the First Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, with several ministers of transport and health representing their governments. The purpose of the group is to promote and plan the Decade of Action. Specifically, the Friends of the Decade advises on steps towards finalizing the global Plan for the Decade; gives guidance on communications for the Decade; and plans the global launch event. The next meeting of the Friends of the Decade is scheduled to take place on 4 October 2010.
