IRSC is supported by the key road safety related organisations in Serbia who were instrumental in delivering the hugely successful Serbian road safety programme, Serbia , a LMIC with much less resources matched the fatality reductions of richer EU countries and achieved a 57% reduction in road deaths over a 14- year period. They did this by adapting and implementing proven initiatives successfully applied in EU countries, by doing local road safety research and by strengthening the key road safety related organisations so they could do more effective road safety activities. The following organisations therefore have recent practical experience of being transformed from old soviet style bureaucracies into modern organisations able to do effective road safety activities in their sectors. They understand and can offer insights into the problems of implementing such changes in an LMIC environment.
