Road Safety Workshop for PRMF Partner Provinces

The NCTS organized the Road Safety Workshop for Provincial Road Management Facilities (PRMF) Partner Provinces. The PRMF is an AUD 100 million, five-year governance and institutional reform program that focuses on road rehabilitation and maintenance as an entry point for provincial government reform activities. It currently assists 10 partner provinces in Mindanao and the Visayas.  It is funded by Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and engaged the services of Coffey International Development Pty Ltd. to carry out the management and administration of PRMF.

Participants in the Road Safety Workshop were mostly provincial planning officers, provincial engineers, and provincial administrators. There were also participants from DILG and FMC. The main purpose of the Road Safety Workshop is to orient the partner provinces on the principles and rationale of road safety, as well as to enable the partner provinces to work out strategies on mainstreaming road safety in their road management systems.  Consistent with this, the workshop also aimed to guide each province to formulate a national road safety action plan.
