9 October 2025, Bangkok, Thailand - The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) have launched the second phase of the Safe Mobility 4 All & 4 Life (SM4A4L) programme in FIA Region II (Asia-Pacific), with support from the FIA Foundation.
This initiative brings together FIA Member Clubs and government authorities to build capacity, enhance collaboration, and develop practical projects in the fields of mobility and road safety, guided by mentorship from international experts. With its expansion to Region II, the programme now extends its reach to Asia and the Pacific, following its successful implementation in FIA Regions III (North America) and IV (Central and South America), where Member Clubs and government bodies jointly developed national road safety projects across 13 countries.
Through a combination of in-person workshops, online learning, and expert mentoring, the SM4A4L programme equips participants with practical tools, knowledge, and methodologies to design evidence-based interventions aimed at improving mobility and safety outcomes.
FIA President Mr Mohammed Ben Sulayem stated:
The Asia-Pacific region faces a number of challenges in road safety, and this programme will play a vital role in driving improvements by building a strong community of practice among our Member Clubs and government authorities. It will empower them to work together to make mobility safer for everyone across the region.
The launch event was attended by FIA Senate President and President of the Real Automóvil Club de España (RACE), Mr Carmelo Sanz; Director of the Division for People and Social Development and Head of the CIFAL Global Network, Mr Alex Mejia; Director of the RACE Foundation and CIFAL Madrid, Mr Ignacio Fernández; and President of FIA Region II, Mr Greig Craft, among others.
