Delivering Results for Peace and Development
IAEA
The birth of the IAEA and technical cooperation
The IAEA is the world´s centre of cooperation in the nuclear field. It was set up as the world´s "Atoms for Peace" organization in 1957 within the United Nations family. The Agency works with its Member States and multiple partners worldwide to promote safe, secure and peaceful nuclear technologies.
IAEA
TC strategic direction is driven by
• IAEA Statute (1956)
• TC Strategy (est. 1997, rev. 2002)
• Agency’s Medium Term Strategy (2006 - 2011)
IAEA
IAEA Statute, Article II
• “The Agency shall seek to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity throughout the world. It shall ensure, so far as it is able, that assistance provided by it or at its request or under its supervision or control is not used in such a way as to further any military purpose.”
IAEA
“To increasingly promote tangible socioeconomic impact by
contributing directly in a cost-effective manner to the achievement of the major sustainable development
priorities of each country.”

TC project stakeholders
IAEA
International Expert (Non-staff Members)• Expert provides advice, on-the-job training or analysis and
makes recommendations towards achieving the TC project objective
Meeting Participant• Exchanges experience or discusses technical/managerial
aspects of a TC project/programmes
Staff Member• Provides technical expertise
TC services: Experts and Meetings
IAEA
TC services: Fellows/Scientific Visitors
Fellowships:• TC project-related practical / on-the-job training of
candidates (usually from 1 to12 months at a single institute)
• for long-term academic training leading towards a degree (Masters or Ph.D.) – “Sandwich” Programme
Scientific Visits:• TC project-related training of candidates who hold an
appropriate advisory or management position (up to 2 weeks in a maximum of 2 countries)
IAEA
• Training event provided by the Agency, in cooperation with Member States, where lecturers teach participants, providing additional knowledge or skills in a particular field.
• Provided at national, regional, interregional levels
TC services: Training Courses
IAEA
• Approximately 40% of the annual TC budget is devoted to procurement
• Equipment, supplies, and contracted services are procured, if these are included as part of a TC project
• Field Procurement is largely managed by the Office of Procurement Services (Department of Management), in cooperation with TC staff, the technical officers and the counterparts.

Nuclear technology: a strategic approach
• What’s the nuclear technology involved?
• Is it cost-effective?
• Is there a better non-nuclear alternative?
Nuclear technology should either be unique, a better alternative, or
complementary.
IAEA

Trends in TC programming
• Projects increasingly seen in a larger, results-oriented context, rather in than in isolation from each other.
• Increasing regional emphasis - “fewer but better”
• Focus on Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries (TCDC)
• Growing emphasis on Least Developed Countries (LDCs)
• Partnerships increasingly important
• Linked to the Millennium Development Goals.
