Suggested Measures
African States should take advantage
of the benefits to be derived from
adopting a cooperative approach to
resolving deficiencies and meeting their
aviation security obligations.

Suggested Measures
States which decide to start a CASP
project to do so with a limited number
of activities and subsequently increase
