n 2010, a consortium of six partners received funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies to conduct activities that would improve road safety in 10 low- and middle-income countries. Dubbed the Road Safety in 10 Countries Project—or RS10 for short—this initiative includes a road traffic injury prevention component in the following countries: Brazil, Cambodia, China, Egypt, India, Kenya, Mexico, Russian Federation, Turkey, and Vietnam. It also includes trauma care in Kenya and India, and data systems improvement in Kenya and Egypt. RS10 will be implemented over the next 5 years (2010–14). The 10 countries were chosen based on the following criteria: road traffic fatalities per 100 000 population, population size, political will and human capacity.
