The TotalEnergies Foundation and the International Road Federation (IRF) have entered into a partnership aiming at establishing private sector road safety coalitions in a number of countries around the world. The objective: federate private sector stakeholders to work together, in close collaboration with international institutions, NGOs, and local authorities in order to improve road safety via hands-on, impact-oriented, and scalable activities.

As a result of the ongoing collaboration, first private sector road safety coalitions have already been launched in Tanzania, Pakistan, Morocco and Zambia. The founding members of these coalitions aim to use their combined knowledge and experience to reduce road crashes in their country. For example, some of the initial priority areas of work identified by the Tanzanian private sector coalition: education and awareness; drivers training; vehicle standards and inspections and infrastructure.

More coalitions are currently being set up in various other countries around the world.
