18 Proposed goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages Although LRGs are, in some contexts, deeply involved in health and well-being public strategies, managing policies dealing with reducing maternal, newborns and child mortality, water-borne, communicable and non-communicable diseases, and substance abuse, among others, we have decided to focus on targets 6, 7 and 9 as they are directly linked to LRGs responsibilities. However, for the rest of targets localizing through urban/rural disaggregation is advisable to better measure public interventions and facilitate effective implementation overall. LRGs in some countries in Africa, Asia or Latin America, play a crucial role in preventing communicable disease as AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis and malaria through awareness raising campaigns and supporting affected populations. UN Habitat (City Prosperity Index, 2014) proposes to “localize� the following index in urban areas: Life expectancy at birth, under five mortality rate, physicians density, vaccination coverage and maternal mortality. It could be also considered the number of in-patient hospital beds per 100,000 population (Global City Indicators) Target 3.6. By 2020 halve global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents (a) Dimensions that could be measured: - Injured people in traffic accidents - Mortality due to traffic accidents - Accident rate (b) Proposed indicators: Proposed indicators 1. Injury rate: Number of people injured in traffic accidents per 100.000 population per year (at local and district level)
2.
Mortality rate: Deaths due to traffic accidents per 100.000 population per year
