Proactive Partnership Strategy - Global Road Safety Partnership

1.3 Who should use the Manual
The manual provides a process and practical advice for those who wish to
use the PPS to address the unacceptable levels of road trauma within their
Community.
There are three target audiences for the Manual.
1. GRSP Advisors wishing to support Communities to implement the PPS
model to improve road safety outcomes.
2. Leaders in a Community who will be instrumental in establishing and
implementing the PPS.
3. Funders and supporters of road safety. This manual will enhance
their understanding of one model of working in the road safety field.
It will also demonstrate how results can be achieved through effective
schemes and targeted solutions.
Although the sequence of the main steps is very relevant, the manual is not
intended to be prescriptive, but adaptable to particular local needs. All in
all, the PPS is a dynamic process that continuously improves the road safety
situation towards advanced stage, while overall still maintaining its overall
process structure.
Different communities will have different starting points. Some will already
have some good data, but others none. Ultimately, an effective PPS in any
community will have a team approach to implementing effective road safety
initiatives based on evidence, which is reliable 30 day data.
Note: Limitations of the manual
This manual is not meant to be comprehensive. Nor is it an academic document.
No attempt has been made to undertake an extensive literature review.
It draws on the experiences of the towns in Brazil that have established and
implemented the PPS model. There may well be similar successful interventions
and models in other countries that are not addressed or highlighted.
