Executive Summary
Background
CACAS project SOM/03/016/F/ was approved in December 2003 as a successor to
SOM/96/002, which was active from 1996, both with the main mandate of ensuring
the continued availability of essential safety services for international civil aviation in
the Mogadishu FIR in the absence of a functioning and recognised Government of
Somalia.
Two subsidiary objectives were defined initially:
(1) the rehabilitation of the civil aviation services in Somalia and
(2) the establishing of the nucleus for a future civil aviation administration.
Key functions
The following were defined as key functions or immediate objectives (Project
Document par. A.4.2 and Annex VII refer):
1. To ensure an adequate level of safety and service for air transport operations;
2. Providing aviation facilities and services essential for international air
transport operations and of humanitarian and rehabilitation activities;
3. Accelerated development of skilled manpower;
4. Productivity from resources allocated and to commercialize self-funding;
5. Cost recovery.
Purpose of the Evaluation Mission
The mandate of the evaluation missions was succinctly stated as to:
A. Assess the status of the implementation of the five objectives
(i.e. key functions/immediate objectives) of the Project and
B. Determine if the objectives of the project and the mission of CACAS are still
adequate and relevant in the current context.
Methodology
To carry out its mandate the mission conducted interviews with the main stakeholders
concerned, namely the CACAS administration, UNDP, and ICAO.
Questionnaires were prepared for, and direct interviews were held with, the
authorities responsible for aviation in the Federal Government of Somalia and in the
Regions of Puntland and Somaliland and with the main use representatives,
AFRAA, IATA and KAAO, and the humanitarian flights coordinating agency
UNHAS. Finally, the provision of service provided by CACAS was analysed and
observed, and the existing project provided or managed infrastructure and systems in
Nairobi, Berbera, Bossaso and Hargeisa were observed and assessed.
24 July 2009 Page 2
Key findings
The analysis of the Project Document revealed considerable ambiguity concerning the
scope of the Project. The External Evaluation conducted in 2000 formulated a
number of recommendations, the main one in the sense of removing the mandates of
´authority´ and ´development´ from the scope of the Project.
CACAS appears to, in the most, have confined its activities to this revised mandate,
while other stakeholders, and especially the local authorities, continued seeing
CACAS as a development agency. Much of the criticism originates from this
misunderstanding.
In respect to mandate A. of the mission, to assess the status of implementation of the
five immediate objectives/key functions, key findings were:
Objectives 1 and 2, availability of systems and services, the users, stated that,
where available, the FIS provided is adequate. However, they would like to
see a higher level of service of AIS, ATC, OPMET and the implementation of
VHF, NAVAIDS, and VHF air ground communications.
Objective 3, accelerated development of skilled manpower, the views of the
Somali authorities were that more should have been done, and that all the
positions should be filled by Somalis.
The Project Document envisaged the training of personnel for the continued
operation of the air transport system and to facilitate the integration of Somali
civil aviation personnel.
Objective 4, revenue generation: for CACAS it has been limited to air
navigation charges whilst airports do collect and retain their own charges.
There is a level of cross-subsidisation of Air Navigation Charges to airports as
(1) consultancies and non-ANS systems and services provided to airports are
not charged and (2) some users do not pay ANS charges to CACAS alleging
they are paid to local authorities.
Objective 5, cost recovery, has been achieved through the levying of air
navigation charges collected through IATA. There is a substantial amount of
arrears and bad debts and efforts to collect these have stalled.
In respect to mandate B of the mission, determine if the objectives of the project and
the mission of CACAS are still adequate and relevant in the current context, the
findings were:
The Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFGS) considers that the
mandate of ICAO to provide services in the Mogadishu FIR lapsed with the
establishment of an internationally recognised Somali Government, and that
therefore the Flight Information Centre should operate under their authority;
The regions expressed the desire (not to say the intent) of taking over the
provision of Air Traffic Services in the airspace over the territory under their
control, under the argument of inadequate level of service, lack of progress in
infrastructure development and alleged lack of transparency in the allocation
of resources;
24 July 2009 Page 3
All levy criticism at the lack of support to their own endeavours, mainly in
respect to infrastructure development, especially of airports, which they
continue to perceive as a CACAS mandate.
Conclusions
From the information collected and observations, the contradictions and ambiguity in
the mandate of CACAS are at the root of much of the mistrust of the federal and
regional authorities towards the project. This source of misunderstanding should be
removed without delay.
In what concerns the five key-functions, the mission believes that some of the
criticism of both the users and the authorities alike is justified. A more proactive
approach could have led to a more accelerated infrastructure development, namely by
the deployment of some VHF, NAVAIDS and/or GNSS procedures, the improvement
in the level of services, namely the provision of some ATC, better AIS and better
AEROMET, and in a more accelerated empowerment of Somali nationals. It is to be
recognised, however, that capital investment projects are largely dependent upon the
availability of financial resources.
The evaluation team was left with the perception that more involvement in the project
by ICAO and UNDP could have resulted in the mitigation or elimination of many of
the reported problems and shortcomings.
Finally, and what concerns the future, the demands of the Transitional Federal
Government and the regions for ownership cannot be ignored. These demands must
be dealt with by dialogue, addressing legitimate concerns while maintaining the
integrity of the Mogadishu FIR. ICAO and UNDP should take steps aimed at piloting
the transition with a view to precluding disruptions in essential services.
Key recommendations
The recommendations cover:
A. Project performance in the sense of ensuring better effectiveness under the
existing framework by clarifying the mandate, improving project control, and
instilling a sense of ownership by Somalia,
B. Institutional issues and the setting in motion the transition towards the
handing over responsibility for the provision of services to Somalia through:
a. Promotion of consultations;
b. Establishment of a Steering Committee to provide the framework for
the conduct of the consultations.
C. Improvement of service provision and the infrastructure development.

Ernest Wickersham, Evaluation Team Leader
INSTITUTIONAL EVALUATION FORM
Sir,
As you are aware, since 1995 the provision of Air Traffic Services in the Mogadishu FIR and
some Somali airports has been carried out by an extraterritorial unit operating from Nairobi
under an ICAO/UNDP Project. The Project was also intended to provide the embryo of a
Somali Civil Aviation Administration, but realities on the ground precluded any significant
development of this component.
As part of the standard periodic project review, but also taking into account the desirability of
evolving towards normalcy in the functioning of Somali national institutions, UNDP and
ICAO are undertaking an evaluation of the Project. This exercise should both analyse past
performance, and point to future directions.
For any proposals to be meaningful it is indispensable that they take into full consideration
firstly and foremost the views of the Somali Government, but also take of other governance
bodies and institutions, and of the aviation community at large, it being clear that though the
need for continuity availability of service must be unquestionable, institutional considerations
are paramount.
To assist in the analysis, information gathering will be systemized under four headings:
1. Regulatory and Safety Oversight
a. Personnel licensing
b. Aircraft registry and airworthiness oversight
c. Air Operators certification and oversight
d. Airport licensing and operations oversight
e. Oversight of air navigation systems and service provision.
2. Provision of Air Navigation Systems
a. Provision of Air Traffic Services
b. Provision of Aeronautical Information Services
Annex V – Data Gathering Forms
24 July 2009 Page A 44
c. Provision of Radio Navigation Systems
d. Provision of aeronautical telecommunications both fixed (point-to-point)
and mobile (air/ground)
e. Provision of Aeronautical meteorological services
3. Airports
a. Runways, and other operational surfaces
b. Power supply and lighting, including runway lighting
c. Terminals and other commercial buildings
d. Airport services including
i. Rescue and fire-fighting
ii. Ground control
iii. Ground handling services
iv. Fuel supply
v. Catering
4. The way forward
a. The National Civil Aviation Authority
b. The Provision of Air Navigation Services and facilities
c. Provision of Airports
A questionnaire addressing these issues is provided on the following page. Please
take this only as a guideline for your contribution. Feel entirely free to address any
other areas of concern or expand on considerations that you consider could be of
assistance in devising a consensual and effective way forward.
Thank you.
