The establishment of the Asia-Pacific Road Safety Observatory was announced at the 3rd Ministerial Conference on Road Safety in Stockholm, Sweden, in February 2020, following two preparatory workshops in Singapore (March 2019) and Bangkok (December 2019). The Asia-Pacific Road Safety Observatory was established by a group of international development organisations: The World Bank (WB) and édération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the International Transport Forum (ITF) and The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), with support from the World Health Organization (WHO) and UK Aid through the Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF). ADB serves as the secretariat for the Asia-Pacific Road Safety Observatory. This meeting will seek country support and endorsement on the implementation of the Asia-Pacific Road Safety Observatory.
