How PASB will deliver

Key Technical Cooperation Interventions
 

  • Step up leadership
    • Advance evidence-based practices in violence prevention, road safety, and prevention of injuries, including drowning.
    • Support the establishment/functioning of national multisector agencies for road safety with the authority and responsibility to make decisions, administer resources, and coordinate actions across relevant government sectors.
    • Improve multisector collaboration and strengthen multisector plans for addressing violence in all its forms, with emphasis on violence against women, children, adolescents, and youth.
  • Support countries
    • Support countries and territories in enhancing their legislation related to risk factors for road safety (for example, speed limits, drink-driving limits, and laws on use of seat belts, helmets, and child restraints) and risk factors for violence (for example, laws limiting access to firearms and laws against corporal punishment, among others).
    • Implement cost-effective interventions for road safety, including the WHO technical package Save LIVES, a set of prioritized interventions to reduce road traffic deaths and injuries.
  • Produce technical products on norms and standards, data, and research
    • Improve the quality and use of data on violence to generate evidence-based policies and programming, including data disaggregated by gender, age, sex, etc.
    • Implement and evaluate evidence-based and cost-effective interventions for violence prevention, adapting INSPIRE, a set of strategies shown to successfully reduce violence against children and adolescents, and RESPECT, seven strategies to end violence against women in the Region.
