Implementing the ICAO TRIP Strategy Roadmap

DESCRIPTION

This Implementation Package (iPack) is a self-contained package aimed at assisting and guiding State authorities such as ministries of interior, foreign affairs, health and technology, and their agencies, in the implementation of the ICAO Traveller Identification Programme (TRIP) Strategy to uniquely identify individuals. TRIP focuses on strengthening identity verification, document integrity, and international cooperation to enhance global aviation and border security and facilitation.

It includes relevant documentation, tools and a virtual course to build capacities for the implementation of all technical, organizational and administrative arrangements necessary for implementing the five key elements of the ICAO TRIP Strategy. A dedicated expert will work remotely with the designated stakeholders, providing guidance in their implementation efforts to achieve the objectives of the iPack. The level of progress made in achieving each iPack objective depends on the availability of States’ resources to perform the work.

GOAL

The goal of this iPack is to assist and guide designated authorities in the implementation of the five key elements of the ICAO TRIP Strategy:

• evidence of identity;
• document issuance and control;
• Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTDs);
• inspection systems and tools; and
• interoperable applications.

OBJECTIVES

After having successfully deployed this iPack, the designated authority will be better equipped to meet the objectives of this iPack, which are to:

1. ensure that the evidence of identity provided by individuals is genuine and accurately establishes their identity;
2. issue secure, tamper-resistant travel documents and maintain their integrity through effective control measures;
3. implement MRTDs to enhance border security and facilitate the travel process;
4. equip border control agencies with advanced inspection systems and tools to efficiently and accurately verify traveler identities; and
5. facilitate the sharing of information and collaboration among countries to enhance global travel security.
