| Summary: | As part of a long-term partnership
between the World Bank and Brazil, the Federal Government of
Brazil sought the World Bank’s assistance to review road
safety management capacity in Brazil, building both on past
experiences in the country and international best practices.
This National Road Safety Management Capacity Review,
therefore, was prepared by the World Bank, with the support
of the Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF). The primary
objective of the review is to evaluate the multi-sectoral
capacity of road safety management in Brazil, identifying
possible road safety challenges and presenting
recommendations to address these challenges. The methodology
of the review, in accordance with the guidelines of the
World Bank Global Road Safety Facility, focused on
examinations of key functional aspects of road safety,
including institutions, legislation, financing, information,
and capacities at all levels of government and among
non-government actors. The review was prepared mainly based
on interviews of key road safety stakeholders at the
federal, state, and municipal levels, members of parliament,
NGOs, and the private sector, in addition to direct
inspection of roads and on-road behaviors, and the analysis
of published research and reports on road safety. In
addition, information and understanding gained from previous
reviews of the states of São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, and
Bahia were also incorporated. |
