Session objective
• To provide an understanding of the technical
cooperation programme cycle and
preparations for the next programming cycle
2014–2015
IAEA
Preparing the TC programme
• The TC programme is needs-based, and results-oriented
and is developed through a consultative process
• Guidelines with milestones and deadlines are provided at
the start of each planning cycle
• provide systematic guidance for all stakeholders on the planning
and design process
• ensure consistently high quality in all TC programme and project
documents
• Documents for TACC are issued five weeks in advance
• Support is provided to Member States (NLOs, counterparts,
Permanent Missions) throughout the process

IAEA
Logical Framework Approach
• A widely adopted development planning
methodology
• Used to improve the design, implementation
and assessment of a policy, a programme or
a project
• The matrix describes the logic, chain of
results, indicators and assumptions

Review: Quality, technical, safety
• Review and feedback at two levels/phases:
concept and design
• Quality review throughout the process
• Technical Officer participates in review
process
• Project reviewed for compliance with the
Statute, INFCIRC/267, and all relevant
decisions of the Agency’s Policy-Making
Organs and the Security Council
IAEA
Secretariat support for the planning and
design process
• Guidelines and training for the Planning and Design of the
TC programme – Logical Framework Approach applied,
quality strengthened
• Pre-planning and pre-project missions to support
preparation of programmes
• Identification of safety gaps and needs for additional safety
support
• Information on thematic areas for cooperation
IAEA
IT tools for the planning and design
process
• Programme Cycle Management
Framework (PCMF) IT platform
• Facilitates programme processes and
stakeholders interaction
• All templates available online
• Whole national programme visible at any time
• TC-PRIDE web site
• Updated financial and other information on all
ongoing and completed TC projects
• Expected to be fully operational again 2Q 2012
IAEA
Support available on PCMF
• Templates (Project Document, Programme Notes)
• PCMF Reference Desk
• TC Programme Quality Criteria
• IAEA Fields of Activity used by TC Projects
• Policy for Interregional Projects
• Policy for Regional Projects
• TC Programme Planning and Design Glossary
• Note Verbale on the start of preparations for the technical
cooperation programme, including the guidelines, criteria
for appraisal and approval, and timeframe for the planning
and design of the TC programme.

EXAMPLE: Increasing Agricultural Production in the Coastal
Area through Improved Crop, Water and Soil Management
• Objectives:
• Identification and assessment of saline-tolerant
crop varieties
• Evaluation of water use from ponds and natural
depressions for drip irrigation
• Measurement of the soil content in order to ensure
optimal irrigation scheduling
IAEA
Reviewing Concepts and Designs
• What issue is being addressed?
• Are the specific nuclear techniques identified
•
•
•
•
•
•
appropriate for addressing the issue?
Does it meet central criterion?
Do the techniques have a comparative advantage?
Meet safety requirements?
Is there adequate physical infrastructure and human
resources to support the project?
Will external institutions and partners participate in the
project?
Is there a need to organize planning mission(s)?
