West and Central Africa Air Transport Safety & Security Program Phase II – Nigeria Project—PID

Description

Today, air transport accounts for up to 40% of world trade by value. It plays a significant role in the economic development of countries. In Africa, where poor road, port and railway infrastructure often constraint the rapid and efficient movements of high value goods earmarked for export, air transport holds both a potential for growth and a role for the economic development of the continent. For now, however, reality has not met expectations and air services in Africa, and especially in West and Central Africa (WCA), continue to be inefficient,

The Project Development Objectives (PDOs) which apply to all program’s phases and, therefore, to the Nigeria project, are to: 1) Improve Civil Aviation Agencies’ (CAAs) compliance with ICAO’s safety standards, 2) Increase CAA’s compliance with ICAO’s security standards, and 3) Enhance main international airports’ compliance with ICAO’s security standards.
