Presently, the CASP-AP has a membership of 24 states and administrations. Macao participated in the Programme since 2004. The steering committee meeting of the Programme is held once every year to assess the status of technical assistance provided to the members and the other action items, define the future work plan and assist members to comply with the requirements of International Civil Aviation Organization. The members take turns to organize the annual meeting. The 11CASP-AP is convened in the meeting facilities of Macao Science Centre and has an attendance of more than 40 delegates.
