AB  - Road traffic injuries (RTI) impose a substantial health burden among children. 
      Globally, 186 300 children (under 18 years) die from RTI each year. It is the 
      fourth leading cause of death among children aged 5-9 years, third among children 
      aged 10-14 years and first among children aged 15-17 years. At the regional 
      level, sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 35.2% of global child deaths caused by 
      RTI; that number is still increasing. Male children are about two times more 
      likely to die due to RTI than female children. RTI are also related to 
      socioeconomic inequalities; low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC) account 
      for 95% of global child RTI deaths, and children from poor households are more 
      likely to fall victims to RTI. Intervention strategies promoted in the five 
      pillars of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 are available to 
      prevent mortality and morbidity caused by RTI, though validation and 
      implementation of such interventions are urgently needed in the LMIC. Through 
      concerted efforts to cultivate strong political will, build action and advocacy 
      capacity, increase global funding and enhance multisectoral collaboration 
      promoted by the Sustainable Development Goals, the world is challenged to do 
      better in saving children from RTI.
