Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), a United Nation (UN) specialised aviation body, has ranked Uganda fifth in aviation safety and security standards in Africa.<\/p>\n

The aviation body carried out an audit of Kenya\u2019s aviation sector under the Universal Security Audit Programme (USAP) from May 16 to 27. The results indicated that Nigeria topped the sector scoring 96.06, followed by Kenya at 91.77, Tanzania scored 85.68, and Rwanda got 85.97 and Uganda had 76.44 percent.<\/p>\n

However, the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) indicated that the audit doesn\u2019t reflect Uganda\u2019s actual position in airport security. \u201cWhile Kenya was recently audited by the ICAO and registered a good score as indicated, the percentage figure mentioned in relation to Uganda is not correct because Uganda is yet to be audited by ICAO,\u201d the spokesperson of UCAA, Mr Vianne Luggya, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last ICAO audit on Uganda was the Universal Security Audit Programme – Continuous Monitoring Approach (USAP -CMA) conducted in 2017 and the score was 81.8 percent. This is a totally different reporting period from that of States that have just been audited in 2022,\u201d he said yesterday.<\/p>\n

Adding: \u201cIt is also important to note that when ICAO audits states, they do not rank them per se, but only allocate scores. The indication, therefore, that Uganda is ranked fifth is not based on any standard parameter and is not correct\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr Luggya said Uganda will be audited next year in September. \u201cSimilarly, a Universal Security Audit Programme (USAP) on Uganda is scheduled for 2023 or later,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The audit assesses and determines a country\u2019s compliance with these international standards on the ICAO\u2019s eight critical elements of effective aviation safety oversight.<\/p>\n
