Cambodia - July 19, 2016

AIP Foundation, in collaboration with FIA Foundation as part of the “Agents for Change” program, has coordinated a workshop for journalists to further hone their skills in delivering high-quality reporting on the subject of helmet use and road safety. This workshop built on similar efforts undertaken since 2015 to increase the helmet use rates in Cambodia, especially among passengers and children.

Overall, the “Agents for Change” program works to build the capacities of well-placed policymakers and members of the media for the overarching goal of creating an environment in which motorcycle passenger helmet use is encouraged, practiced, and enforced. To accomplish this, a series of forums, workshops, and trainings have been set up to enhance the two groups’ knowledge of passenger helmet safety and equip them with the specific skills needed to more effectively work towards increased helmet use rates in the country.
