Boeing becomes the latest partner in AviAssist Safety Promotion Centre &#8211; Rwanda to promote access to continuous professional development and research<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boeing Company has entered a partnership with AviAssist, the reference safety promotion organization in Africa. Air traffic in Africa is expected to grow by 5.2% annually according to Boeing, above the global average growth of 3.8%. This underscores the importance of continued investment in safety and security performance improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cSafety is fundamental to the success of our industry, and is a core value for the Boeing team,\u201d said <strong>Akachi Iroezi, Boeing Director, Global Safety and Regulatory Affairs<\/strong> at the signing. \u201cGrowth of the aviation industry in Africa depends on the safety of the aviation ecosystem and we are collaborating with customers, regulators and other stakeholders to help strengthen the safety of that ecosystem. Working with AviAssist gives us access to a world-class and effective way of promoting safety in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to include Boeing in our work in Africa and our ASPCs\u201d, said&nbsp;<strong>Tom Kok, Director of AviAssist<\/strong>. \u201cWith this partnership, Boeing invests in current and future African aviation professionals to help grow the continent\u2019s aviation industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Safety promotion will partially be channeled through AviAssist Safety Promotion Centres (ASPCs). ASPCs provide training, learning and research resources to safety champions in Africa and connect research with policymakers and safety professionals. The first ASPC is based in Rwanda. The partnership will also support the Foundation\u2019s trainee program at the University of Rwanda, host of the ASPC-Rwanda, and will help develop the safety exhibits at the ASPC-Rwanda. It will further assist in the production of the third series of AviAssist Focus Sessions, Africa\u2019s free online safety TV show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About AviAssist:<\/strong> the organisation has been providing safety resources to the African aviation industry since 1995.
