ICAO’s Technical Co-operation Programme provides advice and assistance to Contracting States in the development and implementation of projects across the full spectrum of air transport aimed at improving the security, efficiency, regularity and operational safety of national and international civil aviation. The Programme is conducted under the broad policy guidance of the ICAO Assembly and of the Council. Subject to general guidance by the Secretary General, the Technical Co-operation Programme is executed by the Technical Co-operation Bureau (TCB).

Since its establishment in 1952, TCB has implemented civil aviation projects with an accumulated value in excess of US$ 2 billion. With an average annual programme size of over US$ 150 million, it is involved in approximately 250 projects each year with individual project budgets ranging from less than US$ 20 000 to over US$ 120 million. To date, TCB has provided assistance to over 115 countries, deploying annually approximately 1800 international and national experts.

ICAO's Technical Co-operation Bureau will assist you in project implementation with Neutrality, Transparency and Objectivity and will remain available for consultation long after a project has ended.
