The IAEA's Technical Cooperation Programme aims to maximize the contribution of nuclear technology to the world while verifying its peaceful use. It has six departments and works through partnerships with UN organizations in areas like human health, food and agriculture, water and the environment, and nuclear energy and safety. The programme operates in over 125 countries and focuses on achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 through projects like improving disease treatment, increasing crop and livestock production, and supporting sustainable water and environmental resources.

6. Selected Interventions Human Health Food and Agriculture Water and Environment Nuclear Energy Safety and Security

7. Human Health: Helping States Enhance Prevention, Treatment and Control of Diseases Cancer: Challenges and opportunities Cardiovascular and other Chronic Diseases : Enhancing diagnostics Malnutrition: Finding the facts with isotopes Quality Assurance in Radiation Medicine: Protecting patients and workers

8. Food and Agriculture: Helping States Increase Productivity and Quality Crop Production: Producing more with less Insect Pest Control: Protecting food, agriculture, livestock, humans and the environment Livestock Production: A chieving better health and productivity Food Safety and Quality : Focus on the food chain and standards

9. Water and Environment: Helping States to Sustain Water and Other Natural Resources Freshwater: Stronger facts for water resources management Oceans: Protecting the marine environment Land: Protecting the terrestrial environment

10. Nuclear Energy: Helping States Expand Their Options Energy Planning: A step by step approach Energy Production: Operation and innovation Nuclear Fuel Cycle: From mining to spent fuel Radioactive Waste Management: Guiding safe and effective implementation Decommissioning and Environmental Remediation: Cleaning up afterwards

11. Nuclear Safety and Security: Helping States to Protect People and the Environment Regulation: Setting safety standards and security guidance Nuclear Installations: Advancing safe and secure operations Radiation and Transport Safety: Protecting workers, patients, the public and the environment Management of Disused Radioactive Sources: Watching out for hazardous materials Nuclear Security: Upgrading capabilities, reducing global risks Emergency Preparedness and Response: Raising levels of readiness

12. Countries Considering Introduction / Expansion of Nuclear Power Operating (30) Considering (43) Countries having expressed interest (25)

13. The Need for Partnerships with UN Organizations Limited knowledge of IAEA’s contribution to development in 125 countries Most national counterparts are nuclear scientists with little exposure to UN development issues 68% of TC programme are in areas where the IAEA does not possess the lead UN mandate No socioeconomic impact without involvement of UN development partners UNDG

14. Partnerships with UN at three levels At country level: Participate in UNDAF processes At HQ level: Establish regular channels of information exchanges Contribute to policy debates At regional level: Participate in Regional UN Directors’ and UNDP Cluster Meetings

15. Millennium Development Goals “ We are deeply concerned that the world as a whole is not on track to meet the MDGs by 2015. It is possible to mobilize the international system around shared objectives. We reaffirm our commitment to spare no effort in reaching the MDGs.”
