Improving road safety in Bangladesh is vital to national health, well-being, and economic growth. As evidenced in analytical work undertaken by the World Bank Group (WBG) with funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies, sharply reducing the number of crash fatalities and injuries over time would enable countries like Bangladesh to achieve substantial increases in economic growth and national income, while simultaneously achieving large population welfare gains. This underscores the economic losses associated with inaction. Investment in effective road crash fatality and injury prevention programs will contribute to the accumulation of human capital in Bangladesh, which in turn will contribute to sustainable and inclusive economic growth and increased country wealth. Scaled-up road safety investment will also contribute to the achievement of other sustainable mobility goals concerning improved transport productivity, universal accessibility, climate change mitigation and adaptation and reduced local air and noise pollution. The GoB is also considering institutional reforms to address road safety management priorities. The National Road Safety Council (NRSC) has proposed the establishment of a Road Safety Authority to lead the road safety eff ort and called for improved safety data collection. The NRSC has also proposed the establishment of a Road Safety Fund to ensure adequate resourcing of proposed actions and their monitoring and evaluation. If delivered with urgency and strong government leadership, these promising initiatives will pave the way for sustained road safety success in Bangladesh.
