  6. Current situation: challenges www.youthforroadsafety.org A lack of awareness and recognition in the world of the vulnerable position of young people in traffic; A fragmentized approach and divergences in strategies among youth and youth-led NGO's and their road safety initiatives. Youth road safety initiatives remain small-scaled and scattered; Absence of one strong voice to advocate on the behalf of youth and road safety on a global level;

  7. Current situation: challenges www.youthforroadsafety.org A lack of resources for youth road safety initiatives; A lack of a next generation of leaders who are passionate about road safety and involved in decision making within the road safety field; A lack of capacity development.
