What is the NWS doing on this action in the current Review Cycle?
France supports the technical cooperation programme of the IAEA but has not made specific statements to that end at the General Conference of the IAEA. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, the European Union released a statement at the IAEA Board of Governors on strengthening of the Agency’s technical cooperation activities. In this statement, EU member states stress the importance of coordinating these initiatives and other TC related activities with other UN agencies, based on the country ownership and national priorities. Further synergies could also be sought with other initiatives, such as Horizon Europe, the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation, for instance to further enhance food safety and security and promote sustainable solutions. They welcome the IAEA’s commitment to take gender perspective into account in TC programme planning, design, implementation and evaluation. They indicate that nuclear safety and security remain among the priority Fields of Activities. Finally, they encourage further prioritisation of initiatives and projects, further in-house cooperation and coordination, and further transparency in order to avoid duplication and invite the IAEA to continue active project monitoring and evaluation, based upon verifiable and transparent indicators, to assess results and the sustainability of projects, and to identify possible areas of improvement.
