About AFI Plan

1. Enabling States to establish and maintain a sustainable safety oversight system (infra-structure and capacity building);
2. Assisting States to resolve identified deficiencies within a reasonable time; and
3. Enhancing aviation safety culture of African aviation service providers. 

1. ACIP conducted seven Global Aviation Safety Roadmap (GASR) workshops.
2. ACIP worked closely with Regional groupings (BAG, EAC Partner States, CEMAC, UEMOA, SADC and States in the MID and ESAF Regions) in assisting them establish Regional Safety Oversight Organizations (RSOOs) and Regional Accident Investigation Agencies (RAIAs).  

1. ACIP conducted a number of safety-related seminars and workshops. Those include  Personnel licensing and Aircraft Operations, Aircraft airworthiness and maintenance, Organization and Management of a State’s Safety Oversight System, Air Traffic Control Operations and Safety aerodrome safety management, aviation medicine, Transport of Dangerous Goods by air and three ECCAIRS training courses.

In addition, in coordination with ICAO AGA section, ACIP developed and conducted an Aerodrome Safety Inspector Course.
3. ACIP conducted a survey on aviation training needs and available capability with the aim or reviewing training needs, evaluating the training capabilities available throughout the continent and identifying the barriers constraining the availability of affordable quality training programmes in Africa. The result of the survey was analyzed by the Training Expert Working Group (TEWG). The analysis of the TEWG was later discussed at the Second Pan African Aviation Training Conference which developed a roadmap for the harmonization of aviation training in Africa.

1. ACIP conducted 3 State Safety Programme (SSP) and Safety Management System (SMS) seminar and training courses and various high level meetings in 2009;
2. Development of African capabilities was the theme adopted by ACIP in 2010, as a result a total of 12 safety management courses in English and French were conducted throughout the continent. In addition, half-day long high-level management safety awareness seminars were provided to senior management personnel of States and service providers, including executives on the margins of the training courses. During this period, 29 SSP/SMS Instructors from 14 African States and two Regional Organizations were successfully trained and approved.
