Outline • ICAO’s Regional Comprehensive Plan for aviation safety in Africa (AFI Plan) • Enabling States to establish an effective safety oversight system through Regional Organizations • Experiences and lessons learnt 2009-2011 • Way forward
ICAO’s Regional Comprehensive Plan for aviation safety in Africa (AFI Plan) - Origin
ICAO’s Regional Comprehensive Plan for aviation safety in Africa (AFI Plan) - Objectives • Strengthen civil aviation authorities in Africa with respect to their safety oversight capabilities. • ensure impartial and unimpeachable investigation and reporting of serious accidents and incidents; • enhance capacity of regional and sub-regional safety oversight systems; • ensure expeditious implementation of aviation safety management systems for airports, air navigation service providers and airlines.
ICAO’s Regional Comprehensive Plan for aviation safety in Africa (AFI Plan) - Implementation Focus Area 1 Focus Area 2 Focus Area 3 Enabling States to establish and maintain a sustainable safety oversight system (infra-structure and capacity building); Assisting States to resolve identified deficiencies within a reasonable time; and Enhancing aviation safety culture of African aviation service providers.

ICAO’s Regional Comprehensive Plan for aviation safety in Africa (AFI Plan) - Implementation Focus Area 1 • Conduct specific gap analysis, using the Global Aviation Safety Plan methodology Enabling States to establish and maintain a sustainable safety oversight system (infra-structure and capacity building); • Identify remedial action to enhance safety oversight capabilities and implementation of safety best practices • Communicate intention/findings with concerned States and regional groupings • Inform all stakeholders and solicit support as required to implement the project (ICAO Assembly Resolution A36/1)
Enabling States to establish an effective safety oversight system through Regional Organizations
Enabling States to establish an effective safety oversight system through Regional Organizations – Implementation Ensure that the regionalization adds value to the national aviation system and national organizations Assess scope and level of air transport activities and oversight functions Framework for a regional safety oversight system Identify and agree on those activities that can be regionalized Sustainability Ensure that the regional safety oversight system is designed to be sustainable and self-sufficient Integration Integrate the type of activities, legal and financing arrangements
Enabling States to establish an effective safety oversight system through Regional Organizations – Where are we ? • BAG • CEMAC • EAC • SADC • SEVEN PARTNER STATES • UEMOA
