Improves the project selection process by placing it in the context of national priorities.

CPFs help national authorities to identify the problems to be addressed with nuclear technologies and outline the results expected in a given time frame.

A key to the success of CPFs is for governments to take ownership of the process.


Should build on (and feed into) the Agency’sMedium Term Strategy.

Greater emphasis on selected technical themesby publicizing success stories, informing MemberState governments on actual or potential benefits,conducting studies, and seeking to identifypotential partners.


Financial: partnerships between the Agency and large donor organizations (e.g., ADB, OPEC Fund, etc.);

Strategic: partnerships raise the profile of nuclear science in development

- promotes awareness of the nuclear technologies available

- tangible benefits from their application (e.g., WHO, FAO, AU-PATTEC);

Technical: achieve synergy by combining complementary nuclear and non-nuclear technologies (Tissue Banking etc.)
