The African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) will host the tenth Meeting of the Africa-Indian Ocean Regional Aviation Security and Facilitation Group (RASFALG-AFI/10) and the AFCAC’s One Stop Security Initiative Promotion Day is scheduled to start tomorrow in Dakar, Senegal.

The 10th meeting theme is “How One-stop security arrangements can increase cooperation and collaboration between States when implemented in accordance with Annex 17 SARPs“.

This Strategic Objective of AFCAC is designed to enhance Civil Aviation Security and Facilitation in Africa through the establishment of a strong Aviation Security System in Africa.

In collaboration with ICAO, AUC and other Partners, AFCAC assists States in addressing security related deficiencies and findings following the ICAO Universal Security Audit Programme – Continuous Monitoring Approach (USAP-CMA) which is aimed at promoting global aviation security through continuous auditing and monitoring of the aviation security performance of member States. This is achieved through the Team of Experts of the RASFALG-AFI and ICAO technical assistance programmes. Furthermore, member States are encouraged to establish their National Committees on Civil Aviation Security and the required approved National programmes.
