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.
