Save the Children International is looking for a Consultant for Stakeholders Engagement - The 7% Project

JOB TITLE: Consultant for Stakeholders Engagement - The 7% Project

TEAM/PROGRAMME: The 7% Project    

LOCATION: Bangkok Thailand

1. Background

According to the World Health Organization, road traffic accidents are responsible for more than 1.2 million deaths globally each year, with motorcycle accidents accounting for nearly a quarter of these deaths. In 2012, 14,059 people were killed on roads in Thailand, resulting in a road death rate of 36.2 per 100,000 people. Road accidents are the second leading cause of death of Thai children. Most children travel on motorcycles daily, and while Thai law mandates helmet use for motorcyclists, only an estimated seven percent of children wear helmets. Research indicates that helmet use is the single most effective means of preventing injury among motorcyclists; it reduces risk of death by 40% and severe head injury by 70%. Without coordinated efforts to establish a culture of helmet safety, more children and adults will risk their lives and health on roads. The project’s four components are:

• Education – teaching children the importance of and how to wear helmets, using peer influence to change behaviour
• Police Engagement – working with teachers, parents, and police to ensure that children wear helmets every time when riding motorcycles
• Media and Outreach – campaigning to include helmets as part of school uniforms, and conducting nationwide messaging, events, advocacy, and social mobilisation efforts
• Adaptation – designing helmets that youth want to wear, and providing opportunities for children to customise their own helmets
