The United Nations Road Safety Fund (UNRSF) has launched its 2023 Call for Concept Notes with an overall disbursement amount of US$ 4 million. The core priorities of this Call for Concept Notes are determined by UNRSF’s Global Framework Plan of Action for Road Safety which reflects a holistic and inclusive system approach to addressing challenges in road safety and builds upon the proven success of the countries with the strongest records in road safety. Additional special priorities of this Call for Concept Notes are based on the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030.
ESCAP is one of the Participating UN Organizations (PUNOs) eligible to submit the concept notes and apply for the fund. Interested eligible government entities from the ESCAP Member States and stakeholders who would like to submit a concept note for the fund through ESCAP are encouraged to refer to the 2023 Application Guidelines and 2023 Call for Project Concept Note Template.
