Description: This program would train airport screeners, supervisors, and managers to identify and interdict terrorist activity in line with international standards. It would also help to unify the Republic of Yemen Government (ROYG) institutions with responsibility for aviation security by promoting compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards, Recommended Practices (SARP)s, and their annexes. This project would ideally provide passenger and cargo screening systems and equipment if the environment permits.
