The purpose of Friends of the Decade of Action is to encourage the private sector to prioritise road safety during the 2011 to 2020 Decade of Action for Road Safety, and become a trend setter in road safety towards stabilising and reversing road crashes.
Friends of the Decade in South Africa, in partnership with government, will actively drive a new road safety culture, and highlight the unacceptable high social cost and avoidable serious public health loss resulting from road crashes and the need for these to be addressed by systematic, results-focused and well-coordinated approaches.
Road safety is everybody’s responsibility.
