Road Safety Grants Programme
The Road Safety Grants Programme is managed by the Global Road Safety Partnership, one of the implementing partners of the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS), and supports projects to develop and deliver high-impact, evidence-based road safety interventions designed to strengthen road safety legislation and its implementation. BIGRS focuses on improving and implementing evidence-based road safety legislation (including laws, regulations, and standards) in 15 low- and middle-income countries (Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, South Africa, Uganda, and Vietnam).
In 2026, GRSP expands the scope of the Grants Programme to include Safe System aligned infrastructure policy and regulatory reform in addition to behavioural risk factors and vehicle safety. This reflects global evidence that sustainable reductions in road traffic deaths require coordinated action across safe speeds, safe roads, safe vehicles, and safe road users.
The Programme has also expanded eligibility beyond the 15 BIGRS focus countries to include a limited number of applications from other low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America where there is a strong opportunity to achieve meaningful policy change or advance policy implementation.
Advocacy Resource Centre
The Advocacy Resource Centre is designed to assist GRSP grantees, members and stakeholders with advocacy efforts towards improved road safety outcomes.
The Centre comprises individual components which correspond to key stages in, and components of, policy advocacy campaigning. It outlines the role advocacy plays in improving road safety, and highlights the added value of GRSP and GRSP grantee involvement in road safety advocacy.
We define the steps required to design and implement an advocacy initiative around a road safety issue, and we provide examples, resources and tools to support the grantees and other parties throughout the design and implementation process.
