Under the GRSP-funded project, to be implemented from July until December this year, the VRC will seek to become a member of the National Traffic Safety Committee.
At the same time, VRC will also organise activities such as seminars and media campaigns to promote the implementation of traffic rules.
The project is part of a global project on advocating compulsory traffic safety policy, which has so far been implemented in six countries, including Vietnam and Cambodia .
According to the World Health Organisation, nearly 1.3 million people are killed in traffic accidents and over 50 million injured each year, causing damages worth about 518 billion USD.
