YOURS - Youth for Road Safety is a direct follow-up of the United Nations World Youth Assembly for Road Safety in 2007. More than 400 young people from over a 100 countries gathered to discuss the global road safety crisis and how young people can be part of the solution.
The participatory guidelines have been developed to mainstream meaningful youth participation as a systemic mechanism to support the design and delivery of road safety policies, interventions and national plans/programs. These mechanisms could be realised by membership of advisory bodies, youth councils, technical committees or evaluation panels for calls for proposals, or through funding to invest in youth led project and programs
Through the policymakers' guidelines, we aim to foster an intergenerational co-leadership mechanism with youth and policymakers to address the implementation of the Global Plan on road safety and realise the aspirations of the Global Youth Statement for Road Safety.
