MEMPHIS, Tennessee - August 24, 2017

Cambodia Country Director Pagna Kim joined a group of 15 road safety experts from 15 countries on five continents for the second Alliance Advocate Training Program hosted by the Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety (the Alliance) at FedEx Express World Headquarters in Memphis. Fedex sponsors and supports the program. The Alliance advocates were selected through a highly-competitive selection process, and represent an elite group within the Alliance, which represents more than 190 road safety non-governmental organizations in more than 80 countries. The intensive two-week training program will strengthen their professional skills in advocacy, communications, project management, strategic planning, and more.

As part of the training, the advocates developed evidence-based, measurable action plans that they will implement in the coming months to address a key road safety issue in their home country. The participants come from a range of high-, medium-, and low-income countries where they must face diverse cultural, economic, and political challenges, so the training is designed to be applied in different environments.
