The program of action we are undertaking is guided by the Good Practice Manual on Drinking and Driving developed under the auspices of the UN Road Safety Collaboration by the Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP) with input from the International Center for Alcohol Policies (ICAP). In each of the countries, our actions are focused on achieving impact, sustainability and leveraging resources from governments and other stakeholders, building upon the expertise and active engagement of the beverage alcohol industry.

We are launching efforts to engage in the following types of activities: translation into local languages of authoritative documents; situation analysis to understand the scale and nature of drinking and driving in a particular country; conducting introductory workshops to launch action plans; analysis of current legal framework and enforcement; capacity-building in fields such as traffic law enforcement and public education; pilot projects in areas such as enforcement, designated driver programs, alcohol server training; and monitoring and evaluation so that the programs can be sustained and locally “owned.”
