DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL COOPERATION
COUNTRY PROGRAMME FRAMEWORK (CPF)
Guidelines for Preparing a CPF
-
The CPF Guidelines are intended to help the CPF Development Team to prepare a CPF as the first step in the provision of technical assistance to a Member State. The CPF Development Team should as a minimum consist of a National CPF Coordinator who is the country’s focal point, a Programme Management Officer (PMO) who is the focal point for CPF activities within the IAEA and Technical Officers (TOs) from the IAEA. National counterparts may provide inputs to the team as need be but the principal task of preparing the document lies with the CPF Development Team.
-
The National CPF Coordinator initiates the preparation of a CPF. A detailed explanation of the process and key steps in the formulation of the CPF are provided in the CPF Operational Guidelines. Key steps also include consultations with relevant national stakeholders, UN organisations and donors aimed at achieving consensus on development priorities for future programmes. The National CPF Coordinator should also establish sectoral task teams to review the identified opportunities for integration with existing national development plans.
-
The CPF document should be prepared based on the Contents of a CPF provided below. The templates provided are designed to help the CPF Development Team prepare a country programme of high quality standard that can significantly increase the impact of collaboration between the Member State and the IAEA.
