Field
operations activities in Africa
FAF activities cover
the sub-saharan African States to which the ICAO regional offices in
Dakar and Nairobi are accredited.
FAF activities in
Africa in recent times have been dominated by safety oversight and aviation
security concerns.
Safety Oversight
Two levels of response
have been observed;
- Individual State
responses involving the restructuring of civil aviation organizations,
and the
revision of civil aviation code and regulations especially in respect
of safety oversight
-FAF is working
with Senegal, Liberia, Guinea, Congo (RDC), Malawi
- Regional groups
with already established economic ties are collectively searching
for solutions that will minimize costs, reduce redundancy while maximizing
available resources and increase efficiency of safety oversight.
-FAF is working
with - SADC, UEMOA to prepare framework for pooling of resources.
A recommended option is the COSCAP concept which is already in practice
in South Asia.
Aviation Security
Initiatives involve
the establishment of effective Civil Aviation Security Plans, and
the training of aviation security personnel.
-FAF has provided
assistance to Nigeria and Botswana in these areas.
A pilot project including the stages of Audit, Assistance and Post-project
Evaluation is being planned for a group of States in West Africa.
Needs in other areas
continue to be met.....
