World Health Organisation - Accra, Ghana

The union is a Non-governmental organization registered in 12th February 2007, in Special Consultative Status with UN system (ECOSOC), we are to educate, inform and advocate the general public and government, on the importance of Traveling Safely, Secured and Comfortable (TSSC) on our roads, airways and on the sea without compromising the life and property of travellers. As a civil society organization, membership into I U T is open to the general public including anybody who for once in his or her life time has embarked on a journey before or is on a journey or is planning to travel from one point to another either by sea, air or road.

qualifies to be a member. I U T has thus recognized the entire traveling public as very important partners and stakeholders in the effort to reduce, if not eliminate entirely the spate of road accidents, corruption, car hijacking, highway robbery of vehicles and passengers goods, child trafficking, extortion and also assist travellers in finding solutions to the numerous problems they encounter as they embark on their journey.
We also aimed to provide a real opportunity for road safety advocates to make the case for integration with wider public health, sustainable transport and environmental issues, to build a broad coalition supporting road injury prevention as a way to tackle a problem which is itself a major global killer, but also a symptom of wider inequality and poverty, and a contributor to the growing crisis of non-communicable diseases. And challenge those who, through fatalism or ignorance, see road traffic injury as simply a national transport problem, an unpleasant side-effect of mobility, rather than an international epidemic which we all have a stake in preventing.
