Introduction
ICAO Fellowship Programme
ICAO firmly believes that the safe and efficient operation of air transport systems is totally dependent on the skills and knowledge of the national personnel who operate and maintain these systems. ICAO, with UNDP support, has assisted over 50 developing States in establishing national civil aviation training centres. Through its Technical Cooperation Programme, ICAO has been active in awarding fellowship training in the various fields of civil aviation. In the past 15 years, around 15,000 fellowships were awarded to almost every developing State.
Overview
The Ministry of Transportation, Republic of Indonesia and ICAO, signed a Management Service Agreement (MSA) in January 2008. The scope of the cooperation includes the agreement to jointly establish a Fellowship Training Programme for Developing Countries with plans to train aviation personnels from ICAO Member States. The objective of this programme is to provide opportunities to individuals from developing countries to gain knowledge to implement ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices and to promote the safety and development of international civil aviation.
Terms of Fellowships
The Government of Indonesia will bear the training fees, daily allowance of Three Hundred Thousand Rupiahs (IDR 300,000) and hotel accommodation for participants accepted for the programmes. Complimentary breakfast will be provided at the hotel and lunch at training facilities during training days. Travel arrangements are to be made and costs borne by the nominating Governments. Participants are required to make their own arrangements for transportation from the airport to the training venue.
Hotel accommodation will be provided for the training duration, i.e. one day before course commencement (after 2 pm) and one day after the course (till 12 noon). Daily allowance will be limited to the actual training days, i.e. from the start of the course up to the last day of the course. Expenses to be incurred for stay beyond this duration will not be covered. Participants are advised to secure their own overseas travel insurance to cover themselves for the period of the training in Indonesia.
