  2. Cluster 3: Road Safety Policy enhancements to better align country initiatives to UN Decade of Action • Coordination among AU, ECA, RECs and countries for identification of policy gaps and priorities and provision of strategic guidance • Monitor, review and advise on the implementation of global and regional declarations on road safety • Creation of lead agencies (at country level) where they do not exist
