Strengthening Capacities

March 23, 2020

This ARISE+ activity was focused to provide support to the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) to improve its safety oversight capabilities and provide guidance in resolving the outstanding ICAO non satisfactory Protocol Questions (PQs) raised after the latest ICAO USOAP-CMA audits.

It is noted also that SSCA improvement should align Cambodia with other ASEAN Member States so that they can effectively participate in regional integration initiatives supported by ARISE+ such as:
 

·         AARMS (ASEAN Aviation Regulatory System)

·         AFOSA (ASEAN Foreign Operators Safety Assessment)

·         MRA-FCL (Mutual Recognition Agreement on Flight Crew Licensing), areas.

 

This activity was not an audit but a technical support activity to facilitate prioritisation of the corrective action plans (CAPs) to improve SSCA´s State Safety Oversight System and Effective Implementation (EI) rate.

 

Methodologically, the support is implemented through a dedicated expert tool that produces a so-called “safety roadmap”, providing clear and sound priorities for SSCA´s decision making.

 

Finally, the implementation of the prioritised actions of the roadmap could be partially supported in future by the ARISE+ project.

3.3.1 Enhancing Aviation Security Oversight – Workshop in Indonesia, 19-23 November 2018

This workshop was well attended by a diverse group of 29 participants, in terms of both their roles and locations around Indonesia.   On completion of the workshop they were equipped with:

 

·        A good understanding of the fundamental role that a proper Risk Assessment, has in determining from the outset what the NASP needs to cover to reduce that Residual Risk;- duly considering the Threats and the Counter-Measures, all properly weighted and scored

·        An appreciation of how the three main components of a strong AvSec regime (human resource, technology and process) need to perform both at a consistently high level and in harmony with each other to generate that sort of regime;

·        A clear vision of how a Quality Assurance programme plays an essential role in sustaining an effective and efficient regime;

·        An initial grounding on the degree to which a strong Security Culture underpins everything that the entity (airport, regulator, airline etc.) is trying to achieve with that regime;

·        Finally, the workshop’s OJT session proved a useful vehicle for delivering not only a strong flavour of how an audit or inspection is prepared and carried out; but also how the results lead to an in-depth conversation around an Acton Plan to benchmark what exactly a strong AvSec regime actually looks like and can be measured.

  • Mobilizing the global aviation community to discuss existing barriers for gender equality in aviation and to share best practices, programmes and initiatives aimed at overcoming these barriers; and

  • Identifying concrete actions which can be taken to accelerate gender equality in aviation and promoting partnerships amongst interested stakeholders to implement these actions.

Cambodia’s aviation sector is growing fast and the construction/renovation of new airports is in the process of being finalised, it seems pivotal to start including environmental and climate considerations into Cambodia’s aviation. For the time being, environmental concerns are tackled only at the level of airport environment, as a follow up of ICAO’s comment on the work structure of the Airport Standard & Safety department.

The organisational structure, working group, regulations, action plans etc. are in the process of being created and in this context the topic of the State action plan appears the most relevant item to start with: involving all sector stakeholders in order to raise awareness of the importance of dealing with climate considerations, both in terms of environmental safeguard and in terms of possible financial implications linked to the carbon market.

Moreover, considering that MRV system shall be settled by 01.01.2019, independently from CORSIA, the training is aimed at giving the knowledge in terms of MRV, EMP and national legal framework required to be settled and in force before 01.01.2019.

OBJECTIVE:

 

̶    How to draft a climate action plan?

̶    How to involve sector stakeholders?

̶    How to select mitigation actions, best practices, best examples in the region, etc.

̶    CORSIA initiative as a possible mitigation measure

Lao PDR has already appointed a CORSIA focal point and made a strong request for concrete capacity building, awareness activities and technical support in order to address climate and environmental topics towards the sector’s stakeholders. The project prefers to focus attention on the smallest and youngest actors as per ICAO’s spirit of the "No Country Left Behind" initiative, in order to be able to scale up the level at a later stage. This also considers the limited number of stakeholders in order to be able to produce replicable results in a short time to be used as best practice in other similar contexts.

OBJECTIVE:

̶    Action Plan on CO2 emission reduction

̶    Strategic and planning approach to the sector: MRV

̶    Creation of synergies with all sector operators
