International
CASIP's Goal of Improving Safety
Part of the Focus Africa initiative, IATA launched the Collaborative Aviation
Safety Improvement Program to reduce the accident and serious incident
rate across the continent.
BY MARIO PIEROBON
T
he Collaborative Aviation
Safety Improvement Program
(CASIP) was launched
by the International Air Transport
Association (IATA) under the
Focus Africa Safety Pillar. It was
designed to reduce the accident
and serious incident rate across
the continent, as part of the Focus
Africa initiative during the Focus
Africa Conference in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia, in June 2023.
" CASIP brings together global
experts working under framework
of trust cooperation and collaboration
to deliver safety enhancement
across the region so performance
can be within regional safety standards, "
officials at IATA explain.
According to IATA representatives,
CASIP was launched to create
a collaborative and harmonized
industry-led partnership program,
to pool resources and expertise,
and to cooperate and complement
the delivery of prioritized
improvement areas.
" The objectives are the reduction
of accidents and serious incidents,
identifying deficiencies and drawing
mitigation measures, the provision
of appropriate training and delivering
safety improvement through
a data-driven approach, " IATA
officials say.
Together, CASIP partners will prioritize
the most pressing safety concerns
on the continent and rally the
resources needed to address them,
according to IATA.
" The benefits of improving aviation
safety in Africa will be spread
across the economies and societies
of the continent. The starting
point for safety improvement is the
effective use of global standards
for safety. At government level, a
key indicator is effective implementation
of ICAO Standards and
Recommended Practices (SARPS), "
IATA officials affirm. " Data for the
year 2022 reveals considerable room
for improvement with only 28 of 54
African states reaching an effective
26 || Ground Support Worldwide || May 2024
implementation rate for ICAO SARPS
of 60 percent or higher. "
In parallel, CASIP partners will
identify fundamental deficiencies in
operational safety and implement
corrective action plans, provide
safety training and workshops
continent wide as well as promote
a data-driven approach to safety
performance with emphasis on
making safety data available to decision-makers
and ensuring efficient
accident/incident reporting, explain
officials at IATA.
For the first time, IATA's Safety
Issue Review Meeting (SIRM)
has been brought to the continent
of Africa, under the framework
of CASIP.
The SIRM for Africa is intended to
be delivered twice per year ensuring
the scope of the continent can be
covered suitably, according to IATA.
" During the first SIRM - which is
one of the three core CASIP workstream
activities together with operational
safety and training, capacity
