Eastern Partnership Road Safety Observatory

The Eastern Partnership Road Safety Observatory is a joint initiative of the five Eastern Partnership countries - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine - with the common goal of reducing road casualties by 50% by 2030.

Funded by the EU, the Observatory houses country-level data and acts as a catalyst to strengthen national road safety data collection, management and analysis. 

Our mission is to reduce road casualties through improving the quality of systematic and consolidated data collection on road traffic deaths and serious road injuries in line with best EU and international practices.

Regional Road Safety Conference | 30 June

On 30 June 2025, the Eastern Partnership Road Safety Observatory hosted its inaugural regional road safety conference in Chisinau, Moldova.

Our aim was to take a deep dive into some of the key issues and challenges related to data and road safety policy from a regional perspective. This include the use of standardised frameworks (CADaS and mini-CADaS) and interagency data sharing, visualisation, and presentation of data with a specific focus on the reporting of serious road traffic injury, which was the theme of our keynote address by Antonio Avenoso of the European Transport Safety Council.
