1. Relevance to Aviation Safety and Security. Is the project related to an
aviation safety activity? An aviation safety activity is defined as any activity
that will improve a State's posture in implementing ICAO's critical elements of
a safety oversight system, as outlined in ICAO Document 9734, Safety Oversight
Manual, The Establishment and Management of a State's Safety Oversight System,
Part A. Additionally, an aviation safety activity can include air navigation,
aviation security, and any other aviation related projects as evaluated and
accepted by GEASA. By strengthening the safety system components, the project
also improves the institutional framework for air transport, which is a large
contributor for enhancing a country's or region's economic competitiveness and
access to world markets. Projects that are outside the scope of the aviation
safety activities will not be included in the WHTI-GEASA program.
2. National/Regional Impact. Besides improving the aviation safety framework,
how much of a contribution will this project make towards the improvement of the
economic, social, and environmental sectors of a nation or region? The
government sponsor(s) should describe any national or regional elements that
will directly or indirectly benefit as a result of this project. Sponsors should
know that projects demonstrating a higher regional impact will receive a higher
priority. That is to say, where more than one nation is involved in a project,
that project will receive higher priority.
3. Project Definition. Is project clearly defined in terms of purpose,
activities, deliverables, and duration? Has ICAO been consulted in the defining
the project? The government sponsor(s) should provide a detailed description of
the project, including the objectives of the project, the national/regional need
generating this project, and the solution proposed by the project. It should
also include a description of all the activities of the project, the
deliverables at the conclusion of each activity, the length of time for each
activity and for entire project. Finally, the government sponsor(s) should
provide an indication of the legal, technical, financial, institutional, and
environmental feasibility of the project.
4. Resources. What are the expected costs for completing the project in terms
of contract costs, personnel resources, and materials? Upon completion of the
initial project, what level of funding will be required to maintain and sustain
the new capability initiated by project in terms of personnel training,
materials, equipment upgrades, and other costs? The government sponsor(s) should
indicate the resources required to complete the project and to maintain the new
capability over the long term. In some cases, the project may require technical
personnel provided by an organization at no cost to the project, such as
technical expertise residing within the GEASA umbrella. In others, a project may
require funding. In such cases, the government sponsor(s) should indicate the
approximate amount that will be funded internally by the government(s) and
externally by international banking institutions or private sector entities.
5. Project Management. How is the management of the project structured? What
type of management controls will be established? The government sponsor(s)
should include the name of a senior management body providing management
oversight of the project and describe the executing agency and its capacity to
execute the project. It should also describe the composition of the project
management team responsible for carrying out the project, the expected frequency
of project reviews by senior management, the funding approval process, and the
management of potential contract deficiencies, such as cost overruns, contract
delays, contractor performance.
