Namibia Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Executive Director Toska Sem has been appointed Second Vice-Chairperson of the Technical Commission of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
The NCAA said Sem’s appointment followed her nomination by Australia and secondment by Cameroon and Kazakhstan during the 42nd ICAO Assembly in Montreal, Canada.
Her election places Namibia among countries contributing to global aviation safety and air navigation standards, the authority said.
The Technical Commission reviews and analyses working papers on aviation safety and air navigation before submitting them to the ICAO plenary for adoption.
According to the NCAA, Sem’s appointment recognises Namibia’s technical expertise and commitment to international aviation standards and opens doors to strengthen national and regional capacity through global collaboration.
“For a small nation such as Namibia, this leadership role is a remarkable achievement for Africa, enhancing the country’s visibility and reputation within the global aviation community,” the NCAA said.
