Grant Description

The Safe Skies for Africa Initiative is intended to promote sustainable improvements in aviation safety and security, air navigation, and to support Africas integration into the global economy.

The Safe Skies for Africa program is based on the premise that Safe Skies are a prerequisite for increased trade and investment and long-term economic development in Africa.
