Welcome to Episode 5 of Good Will Hunters, in our new series on SDG 3 - Good Health and Wellbeing.

Now firstly - I have to apologise. I promised you an episode on each of the SD3 targets, however we are skipping SDG3.5 on substance abuse. We just couldn’t find a great guest for the episode and the show must go on. However, I am very open to doing the episode at a later date, so if you work in substance abuse internationally, particularly in the Pacific, and would like to chat, get in touch.

With that, today we move onto SDG3.6 - which it may surprise you to learn, relates to road accidents. I am speaking to Rob McInerney. Rob is Chief Executive Officer for the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP), a registered charity with the vision for a world free of high-risk roads. 

With RAP projects and programmes now active in over 100 countries worldwide, Rob works closely with key development bank, political and technical leaders from each country to build local capacity and deliver large scale and long-term road safety benefits through the provision of safer road infrastructure. Of all our episodes this series, this one surprised me the most. I’ll leave you to find out why. Enjoy!
