The primary objective of ISD - Security is to support the initiative of ICAO Contracting States that have significant security deficiencies, as identified through the ICAO Aviation Security Audit Programme (USAP), in their effort to implement their corrective action plans and thus enable them to meet their aviation security obligations. ISD - Security also promotes partnerships and collaborative agreements among States, industry, international financial institutions and various stakeholders to coordinate security assistance.
The mandate for the Security Programme of the Implementation Support and Development Section was determined at the 36th Session of the ICAO Assembly by Resolution A36-3: Implementation Support and Development (ISD) Programme – Security. ISD's operational mandate consists of four pillars:
The ISD - Security Section contributes to
implementation support and development activities aimed at
strengthening the capacity building efforts of States and
enhancing their capability to implement International Standards
and Recommended Practices (SARPs) through the development,
organization and coordination of relevant seminars,
workshops and assistance
projects.
In terms
of training, ISD - Security provides
support to regional, sub-regional and national security training
efforts by overseeing the development of appropriate training
packages and providing support to ICAO Endorsed Training
Centres in the development and delivery of training programmes. In
support of these activities, ISD oversees the
Aviation Security Training Centers (ASTCs),
and the
Aviation Security Training Packages (ASTPs).
Additionally, ISD -
Security is responsible for managing the
Aviation Security Professional
Management Course (PMC) which was
developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
in collaboration with the John Molson School of Business at
Concordia University.
