Technical assistance activities of the International Civil Aviation Organization in Africa

Abstract

The ICAO Technical Assistance Programme makes provision for experts, in the capacity of advisers or instructors, equipment and fellowships. Priority is given to requests for assistance designed to improve the ground safety services. In this way it is possible to improve the air route networks covering the world and ensure that an adequate level of safety is maintained for the benefit all air carriers flying through the sovereign airspace of the various territories of the world. During the year 1961 the ICAO Technical Assistance Programme has grown rapidly and it is expected that this growth will continue through the years 1962 to 1964.
