  1. Lao PDR Handicap International Belgium Road Safety Program

  2. Transition • Staff change within HIB and in GoL • Activities completed, new ones start and more…

  3. Partners Government of Laos • NRSC active, system set up, but not yet fully operational on substantive issues - Ambivalent relationship: e.g. GRSP proposals, capacity building, and No MOU - Loss of institutional memory - Restarting the partnership • PRSC just set up yet to become operational • Traffic Police: good partner, limited capacity Non-GoL partners • SweRoad • WHO • (potentially) NZ Aid

  4. Database • At the government level: TP data computerization nation-wide, eventually to be internet-based • HIB data collection (hospital survey, helmet survey, traffic counts): twice a year • Data used mostly for informing HIB program strategy • Limited use for lobbying, wider dissemination – use of media? • Further analysis of hospital surveys possible • Expand to the development of an injury/disability surveillance system

  5. Public Awareness • Initiating the hand-over of the mass media component • Bringing together NRSC member ministries – capacity/commitment building • Reaching out to broader, rural populations – radio program • RS Network to kick start • Village visit: consolidated into Community-Based Activity • Involving disabled people from RTA in RS advocacy – linkage with CBR, NRC/LDPA Philippe Coste triptychs: http://www.philippecoste.com/journalDriving/journaldriving.htm

  6. Education • Restructuring of curriculum: national commitment yet low • No formal consultation with the partners: development in a vacuum • Testing method – evaluation criteria? • Roll-out strategy to be developed: through teacher’s college, with NGO’s with education mandate? • School visit: limited impact – need rethinking of the implementation strategy

  7. Community-Based Activity • Direct implementation along Road 9, Savannakhet Province • Community Action Planning • Optimizing the use of existing materials/initiatives (school visit, RS game, helmet social marketing) • Linking with existing services/initiatives (mobile driving school, etc) • Peer learning workshop for up-scaling • Multi-village network emerging • How to get commitment (without incentives): press release, differential financial/material support? • Would it work in urban areas?

  8. Human Resources • 6 (4 in Vientiane, 2 in Savannakhet) + 1 coming back soon! Of which, • 4 are: less than 6 months in HIB • 4 are: less than 25 years old (first job) • Largely inexperienced – capacity building as the immediate priority, close coaching required • High potential, but not prepared for strategic/analytical tasks in near future • Lack of project manager • Need for additional human resources: profile?

  9. Direction • Compliance or enforcement? • Awareness is not enough, renewed focus on behaviour change • Work with the private sector as stakeholders: alcohol producers/suppliers, auto industry, petrol industry, transporters (buses, fleets), insurance company, etc • Linkage with the disability sector • Broader approach/partnership: creating a safer/inclusive community – linkage with non RS partners • Broadening, upscaling, handover? Exit strategy
