Session IV: Identifying and
Addressing Member State
Needs and Priorities

Department of Technical Cooperation
Khammar Mrabit, Section Head, Safety and Security Coordination
Section, Department of Nuclear Safety and Security
IAEA
International Atomic Energy Agency
Session objective
• to present how the priority needs of Member
States are identified and how ways to
address these are developed into projects
for approval by the Board
IAEA
The vision that guides TC
Technical cooperation seeks
to forge human and
institutional capacity in MS
to safely utilize nuclear technologies
to address local needs,
global issues and
contribute to national development.
IAEA
What does the TC programme do?
• Identify specific capacities and gaps in MS
• Identify a specific programmatic response
tailored to diverse needs and capacities
• Ensure a coherent, coordinated and
interdisciplinary response by the Agency
• Programme and deliver integrated programmes
that are matched to the above gaps and
capacities.
• Identify partners and resources for delivering
programmes with impact

Ascertaining the priority needs of MS
• Two way street
• Agency staff must
be aware of
country’s priorities
• Member States must
be aware of Agency
programmes

The Country Programme Framework
A descriptive planning process that identifies
country needs and priorities, based on:
• Identified national priorities
• Consideration of National Development
Plans
• Regional priorities
• MDGs
IAEA
The Country Programme Framework
Aims to
• Identify problems to be addressed with
nuclear technologies
• Outline the results expected in a given
time frame
• Encourage MS to
take ownership of
the programme
IAEA
Central Criterion
• A project must address an area of real need
in which there is a national programme
enjoying strong government commitment
and support.
• tangible socio-economic benefit
• enabling environment

Needs identification: Nuclear safety
self-assessments
• The Agency helps Member States to conduct
self-assessments based on safety standards
• This is a learning and investigation process
and an integral part of the continuous
improvement of an organization
• Self-assessment is useful at different stages:
• Before starting an improvement programme
• Prior to a peer review
• Routinely, every one to three years to maintain a
continuous improvement programme and to monitor
progress

At regional &

levels
• MS TC priorities for
upcoming programming
cycle:
• overview of the country
programme
• project concepts ordered
according to priorities
One House Approach (1)
• A project is rarely a single strand activity
• A project in medical application, for example,
is likely to have impacts on safety and
radioactive waste
• Various parts of the Secretariat contribute to
the delivery of one single project
• Each project should be integrated and
cohesive

One House Approach (2)
• The TC Department manages the technical
cooperation programme
• The Technical Departments are responsible
for providing technical support
• Officers from TC and Technical Departments
work in full partnership with counterparts to
implement the programme
IAEA
Thirty Fields of Activity
• Nuclear Sciences and Radiation Technologies:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Building nuclear competencies
Energy: Capacity building in energy including introduction and/or
expansion of nuclear power
Legal issues: Legislative & regulatory support
Safety and Security:
Protecting people, society and the environment
Radioactive Waste:
RWM, decommissioning and environmental remediation
Water and Environment:
Sustaining water and other natural resources
Food and Agriculture: Increasing productivity and quality
Human Health:

… etc.
IAEA
Example of Fields of Activity
Example: Nuclear power reactors
Objective: to provide support to MSs that have decided to build
new nuclear reactors or are already operating nuclear
reactors.
• It covers all aspects from siting and construction of the
facilities to commissioning and operation.
• Support can be provided on assessing and improving the
operational safety, methods for safety assessment, efficient
management systems and lifetime management. It will also
take into account radiation protection, radioactive waste
management, EPR and transport (covered under other FoAs).
• Support can include advancement and innovation of
technology for NPPSs systems and their fuel cycles.
IAEA
Challenges: Changing World
The world nuclear community is facing a new
type of large scale and complex challenges,
opportunities, and risks, e.g.
• Nuclear Renaissance;
• Expansion of medical practices;
• … etc.
IAEA
Moving Forward
• Member States are an integral part of the Agency (MSs,
Secretariat and Policy Making Organs)
• The Agency is as strong as its Member States are
• Together, we need to build and sustain effective capacity
nationally, regionally and globally to meet new challenges
• We must strengthen horizontal sharing of knowledge, experience
and lessons learned
• Knowledge and experience can be shared only by active, indepth participation and strong commitment to a mutual learning
process
• The Agency has a vision, strategy and a policy for effective and
sustainable capacity building to meet current and future
challenges
