The AFI SECFAL Steering Committee (SC), is established by the Secretary General at the inception of the Plan. Members of the SC will be drawn from States, the ICAO Council, international and regional organizations, and assistance partners. Other stakeholders may participate in and contribute to the work of the SC on an ad hoc basis at the invitation of the Secretary General in consultation with the SC. The SC provides support, guidance and oversight of progress related to the AFI SECFAL Plan implementation.
- SC meetings will meet twice a year, ideally alternating between African State hosts and ICAO Headquarters. The Chairperson of the SC is elected by the members of the SC.
- Its mandate includes establishing a work programme in the form of preliminary annual work plan for a period of five years of implementation and a detailed work plan for two years of operation, identifying objectives, output and activities to be undertaken.
- The Steering Committee will monitor the progress of activities undertaken under the Plan and report to the Secretary General. Membership of the Committee will ensure representation of all stakeholders and interested parties, as detailed in Appendix C. The AFI SEC/FAL Steering Committee Terms of Reference (ToR) are detailed in a separate document.
- Relevant ICAO Secretariat offices (Headquarters and Regional Offices) will contribute to the implementation of the Plan.
- As a full member of the SC, the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) will be involved in the definition of the Plan Strategy and the coordination of its implementation.
