The AIP Foundation and the World Health Organization (WHO) Vietnam has hosted two technical workshops in Hanoi under the Viet Nam Project 2000 Road Safety Partnership.
The workshops brought together government agencies, academic institutions, civil society organizations, development partners, national and international experts, and the private sector to look at child helmet standards and safe school zones.
Participants received key information about the two areas from leading road safety experts and held discussions to identify and prioritize next actions to further the efforts’ goals.
A key highlight of the workshops included a keynote address delivered by international road safety expert, Dr Terry Smith. Through this keynote, Dr Smith presented findings from a policy paper he developed with support from the WHO focusing on the need for a child helmet standard.
The workshop also included keynote addresses on global evidence and WHO recommendations on Safe School Zones.
