Yesterday, the 2017 cohort of 14 Alliance Advocates graduated. Over the past two weeks, they have fine tuned their action plans and learned about power mapping, fund-raising, monitoring and evaluation, and more. The Advocate training uses in-house expertise through Alliance members and partners, in particular YOURS, which facilitated the training, and FedEx, which generously hosted the training and ran communications sessions. The Advocates also had the opportunity to try out the new iRAP Star Rating for Schools app. See local news coverage HERE.
The Advocates will now put what they have learned into action. They will use their action plan to reduce road fatalities in their home countries. In Nigeria, Ola Oshu, Safety Beyond Borders, will be advocating for three-star roads, while in Ecuador, Estaban Parades, Fundación CAVAT, will tackle distracted driving.
The Alliance is extremely proud of both cohorts of Advocates. The 2016 graduates have already made a significant impact on road safety in their home countries. You can read about their achievement in a new feature on our website HERE. Profiles of the 2017 Advocates will be added soon.
