Closing Date: January 31,2012.
The Road Safety Fund is launching a small grants programme (up to a maximum of US$30,000 per project) to support non-profit road safety actors (e.g. NGOs, government agencies) in middle-income and low-income countries.We are looking for projects that will make a demonstrable and sustainable contribution towards the achievement of the Goal of the Decade of Action: to save five million lives by 2020. Our Small Grant funding is intended to enable and catalyse practical activity. For example, you may need financial assistance for a national workshop to build support for road safety standards or legislation; perhaps you want to run a pilot awareness campaign for seat belt or helmet wearing as the first step to a national program and need some seed-funding to help get it started; or maybe you are forming a coalition of organisations and government agencies to advocate for tougher drink drive laws and want help with start-up costs.
Below we explain the application and grant approval procedure. Please note that we currently have limited funding available and not all applications will be successful.

- building sustainable national or local partnerships and campaigns to practically address specific road injury risk factors, e.g. seat belt, helmet or drink driving coalitions;
- developing strategies to sustain activities over the medium and long term, for example by using the project to leverage additional public/private sector funding;
