Coalition for Road Safety [Programs] - 0 views

  • Programs Education and Safe Community (ESC): This program, previously named the Public Education (PE) Project, is one of the CRY program components and works towards changing road users' behavior from using roads with their own habit into a commitment of firmly respect the traffic law and rights of others through raising their awareness about road traffic accident related issues (consequences and behaviors that road users should maintain and traffic law in Cambodia….) and encourage them to take active roles in addressing road traffic accidents…etc. The program also aims to promote and strengthen .the participation and capacity of youth and students, the future leaders in society in road traffic accident reduction efforts. The Education and Safe Community (ESC) Program activities try to determine ongoing commitments, experiences and resources in order to stop and reverse the careless and dangerous behaviors, driving with their own habits and recklessly driving, which is commonly witnessed throughout Cambodia. >>> More
  • Campagn Against Drunk Driving and Excessive Speed (CADDES) Road traffic accidents cause complicated issues, which generate social issues that seriously and directly affect Cambodians and the process of development in Cambodia. The government has considered road traffic accidents as the second largest disaster after HIV/AIDS. On average, three people are killed, and many others are injured, every day. The majority (94%) of road traffic accidents are attributed to human factors. The two main human causes are excessive speed and driving under the influence of alcohol , which cause many accidents and casualties. Drunk driving and excessive speed accounted for 58% of the total number of road traffic accidents in 2005. Therefore, the Campaign against Drunk Driving and Excessive Speeds (CADDES), one of CRY special projects, has been designed to help reducing road traffic accidents caused by these preventable causes as well as to provide people with opportunities to find common solutions and to improve road traffic accident situations in their own communities. The CADDES Project will work with both sectors: the general public, to change their behavior; and the government, to enforce traffic law.
  • CRY understands that the lack of adequate, accurate and reliable information concerning the causes and consequences of road traffic accidents, perception and behaviors of road users towards road traffic accidents as well as safety measures, is one of the main obstacles and limits action on the issues. Therefore, Monitoring and Research (MR) Program, previously named the Information and Research (IR) Project, works hard to collect necessary and relevant information and conduct researches, based on requests and determinations by other CRY's program components and special projects including ESC Program and Advocacy and Networking ( AN ) Program, to support .their .work. Also the MR Program aims to provide to the government, policy makers, donors and civil society actors the accurate, concrete and comprehensive understanding about road traffic accidents and other concerning issues that have seriously affected Cambodia and negatively influenced the daily lives of Cambodian people. Importantly, feedbacks and recommendations from road users about traffic law implementation by traffic police officer will be gathered to help the government, particularly traffic law enforcers (traffic police), understanding the level of satisfaction of road users regarding the law enforcements and consider change of the way they operate to ensure effective traffic law enforcements with great participation from road users and promote respect among them (traffic police officers) by the population.

The Cambodia Project - 0 views

  • CPI's Theory of Change - The Cambodia Project believes if rural, secondary school age children have access to high quality educational resources and better trained teachers, then they will have greater job and higher educational opportunities which, in turn, will stimulate both economic and community development. Encouraged by the support of local governments, The Cambodia Project works in collaboration with communities to provide innovative and replicable school models, high quality transformative educational resources, and better trained teachers in both the public and private education systems that ultimately offer students increased opportunity. In addition to an excellent standard of education, we offer comprehensive healthcare programs and green technology for school construction and maintenance. Based on this model, each school will become financially self-reliant and locally managed after year four. CPI is committed to building secondary schools in Kep municipality and Kampot province, three hours drive south of the capital Phnom Penh. We will provide secondary-level education opportunities and inclusive development programs that would not otherwise be available to children in these rural areas. Inclusive education is founded on the idea of education that is accessible to any individual regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, or disability. CPI will employ educators from a pool of qualified public school teachers in the region and recruit new graduates from the local teacher training colleges, providing employment opportunities in an otherwise narrow job market. One-third of teachers will be hired part-time from neighboring public schools to supplement their income. Leadership training and teacher professional development programs will be conducted in order to enhance the long-term impact of CPI employees on its students and the surrounding community.

    Youth and road safety July 2006 Kolap Hul, Youth Coordinator, Cambodia Red Cross In 2005, the Road Safety Project of the Cambodian Red Cross was implemented eight schools in the capital city, Phnom Penh, with 400 CRC Youth received training and helmets. In 2006, the Cambodian Red Cross Youth Program has expanded the Road Safety Project, Road Safety Begins with Me, to Battambang Province, the second largest province in Cambodia. This province has the third highest number of road accidents in Cambodia, according to 2004 Road Traffic Accident and Victim Information System Report. Humanitarian crisis Road safety is fast becoming a humanitarian crisis in Cambodia, with fatality and injury rates twice the regional average. Youth account for almost half of all traffic casualties. The volume of traffic is expected to rise exponentially over the next decade. Due to these alarming statistics, the CRCYP identified, in consultation with students in the city, a clear need to intervene to create greater road safety awareness among youth. CRCYP believes that in order to influence others to change their behaviors on the road, the youth must become role models within their schools, families and communities. The project has two components; road safety workshops in high schools, and city-wide campaigns designed to raise awareness among youth through parades and performances. Training As a first step, CRC Youth Advisors in four high schools in Battambang received road safety training. Next, the Youth Advisors facilitated training to 175 CRC Youth through a five-day youth camp from June 30 to July 4, 2006. The training included information on the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the seven Fundamental Principles, CRC Youth Programme Policy, First Aid, Road Safety Laws and Regulations, and a Road Safety Simulation Course. After the training, all facilitators and participants receive helmets. A social side During the training, the youth were able to interact with one another thro
