The primary objective of ICAO’s Implementation Support and Development Section – Security (ISD-SEC) is to support ICAO Contracting States in resolving significant security deficiencies identified through the ICAO Aviation Security Audit Programme (USAP), and to assist them in their efforts to implement Standards and Recommended Practices of Annex 9 and Annex 17. ISD-SEC support enables Member States to meet their aviation security obligations through the promotion of partnerships and coordination of assistance between Member States, industry, international financial institutions and various other stakeholders.
