13. In the last 25 years (1985-2010) Africa has lost and is still losing the skilled

m anpow er it desperately needs to sustain its development to more developed

countries (Brain drain). These com prise of prom ising academ ics, scientists and

technocrats on government sponsored programm es w ho do not to return to Africa after

com pleting their studies abroad.

14. As a result of the scenario in question 13 (above), there is dearth of competent

leadership in Africa that will effectively conceive and implem ent strategies to develop

the continent.

15. If Africa were to attem pt to align it's aviation policies (all the 54 mem bers) and

harm onize their aviation regulations WITHO UT the required skilled and com petenthum an resources on site to initiate, implement, and m anage the process it will most

likely end in failure.
