Session III:
The International Development Context
and the IAEA Technical Cooperation
Programme
Geraldine Arias, Strategy and Partnerships Officer &
Susanne Nebel, Programme Planning Officer
TCPC, Department of Technical Cooperation
IAEA
International Atomic Energy Agency
Session Objectives
• To describe how technical cooperation projects
contribute to the attainment of scientific and
technological advancement as a component of wider
national, regional and interregional development
priorities such as the MDGs.
• To provide examples of how the IAEA takes part in
strategic partnerships, including the United Nations
Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF)
process.
• To explore concrete examples of Strategic
Partnerships with UN Organizations.
IAEA
The Millennium Development Goals
• The MDGs form a global agenda towards
development, setting 8 Goals to be achieved
by all nations by 2015.
• They are a key focus for IAEA Member
States, and are highlighted in the GC
resolution
• MDGs are an important element of CPFs and
UNDAFs
IAEA
IAEA Technical Cooperation: Addressing the
MDGs with nuclear science and technology
• The TC programme provides assistance to MS in the
development of national capacities in nuclear science
and technology
• Science and technology play a critical role in achieving
national development priorities, thus contributing to
reaching the MDG targets.
• The IAEA provides new knowledge, best practices and
research coordination.

Rationale for Partnerships with UN and
Beyond
• Maximize IAEA impact by building on complementary
activities with like-minded organizations.
• Identify synergies between IAEA’s “scientific”
contributions and the work of partners who have the lead.
• Optimize the effectiveness of the nuclear technology
delivered and its contribution to the MDGs.
• Reach out  enhance knowledge of IAEA’s contributions
and generate political support for nuclear technologies
for development
• Greater financial & other resources when necessary

IAEA
Overview of the UNDAF Process
1. Common analysis undertaken
2. Areas for UN support defined based on NDP
3. Outcomes and Outputs developed
4. Agency-specific programmes developed
Throughout this process:
- Constant government and stakeholder involvement
- Role of RC: strategic-level coordination
IAEA
Kazakhstan UNDAF 2010–2015
• The UNDAF is addressing three inter-related priority areas to
assist Kazakhstan in achieving its national competitiveness
agenda:
(1) Economic and Social Well-Being for All
(2) Environmental Sustainability
(3) Effective Governance
• The IAEA, through its TC programme, is contributing to the first
two areas by providing support in:
• the health sector (nuclear medicine),
• environmental monitoring of radiological hazards
• agriculture (sustainable crop intensification through mutation
breeding).

Implications and Opportunities for IAEA
Engagement with UN at Country Level
• UNDAF Process serves as an entry point, but is not an end in
itself.
• Moving towards concrete strategic and technical partnerships with
UN organizations based on thematic priorities

• UN - Partnerships
• The Green Economy Initiative – UNEP (policy analysis,
advisory services and partnerships)
• Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production – UNIDO
• National Cleaner Production Centers - More than 45

The Contribution of Nuclear Technology to
Cleaner Industrial Production
Nuclear Analytical Methods: Neutron activation,
Radiotracers
Detection of pollution in air,
water, and soil including
POPs, PCBs.
Radiation Processing:
Ionizing radiation is a treatment process
that is removing or breaking down harmful
compounds, and disinfects and remediates a true technical solution.

TC Thematic Pilot:
“Cleaner Industrial Production”
• National Cleaner Production Centers (NCPC)
Promotion of nuclear industrial technology and
capacity building in NCPCs of Vietnam, Cambodia,
Malaysia and Philippines (INT2010/26);
South Africa, Egypt, Kenya (RAF2010/27) in
cooperation with industries, PPP model exploration.
• Waste Water Treatment in Cambodia
complementary to UNIDO’s TEST Programme
Needs assessment and national workshop (national
project on water resources management).

Benefits of Thematic Approach “Cleaner
Industrial Production”
• Improved socio-economic impact of TC projects by
reaching end users and beneficiaries outside the
laboratory through National Cleaner Production
Center’s SME Programme, and TEST Programme
• Improved public understanding of how nuclear
technology and the TC Programme contributing to
a clean environment and green growth
• Enhanced knowledge of the peaceful uses of
nuclear technology, thus improving public
perception.
IAEA
Lessons of Thematic Approach
• Partnerships
• through Partnerships with UN Agencies, (FAO farmers field
schools) we can have an impact on real lives
• Key development priorities
• (such as Green Economy and Cleaner Industrial
Production) serve as entry point for partnership building
• Speak the language of your partners
