3. Background
Technical Assistance: COSCAP-SEA intends to provide approximately 2 missions to each Member for in-country technical assistance, according to Member priorities (e.g., USOAP CMA, Safety Management, etc.). In addition, other support in USOAP‑related areas will be provided if resources are available.
This allocation may be altered depending on specific needs of the Members. Members are requested to notify the CTA preferably 3 months in advance regarding the activities which COSCAP-SEA is required to attend or assist.

10. Training Seminars and Workshops (cont’d)
There is a much more detailed list of possible training and workshops contained in the Discussion Paper DP3
The CTA would like to work closely with the National Coordinators in the Member States to ensure that the needed training has been identified
The CTA will then be able to develop a more extensive list of proposed training and begin searching for available providers and funding sources

11. Capacity Building
COSCAP-SEA would like to develop 2 inventories in the coming year in cooperation with the National Coordinators
The first would be a consolidation of the training capacity of each of the Member States
The second would be a list of fully qualified inspectors that, with the approval of the Member State, could be available to provide assistance to other States or the COSCAP-SEA program.
This would provide a valuable asset to simplify the process of finding available courses and instructors within the SEA Member States

13. Implementation of Safety Enhancement Initiatives
Implementation of SEI’s appears to continue to be erratic in the sub region.
COSCAP-SEA proposes to work with the National Coordinators to provide assistance and encouragement to Member States to fully implement these safety improvements
Working with the National Coordinators should also significantly improve our ability to determine and track the effectiveness of the programme
