Department of technical cooperation

1. 
   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.
   
2. 
   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.
   
3. 
   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.

   Contents of a CPF document
   

This section constitutes an endorsement of the contents of the CPF. The signatories should be the highest level of national authority involved with the programme in the country and the Head of the Department of Technical Cooperation.

This section provides the rationale for programme development in selected areas based on an analysis of the national development plans and the enabling environment which includes policy frameworks, technical and managerial competencies and an operating environment that supports the use of nuclear science and technology.

1 The country indicative planning figure does not obligate the Agency to provide such funding, nor does it suggest the expectation of continued levels of Agency funding. The sole purpose is to assist planning and prioritization of the country framework.

2 The indicative government cash contribution does not commit the government to the stated amount, but indicates the intent and likelihood of such support.

3In-kind contributions represent the value assigned to non-cash contributions such as providing experts, training courses, and infrastructure. Planning for in-kind contribution can also include bilateral trade and intergovernmental cooperation agreements in the respective programme area.

4 To be prepared by the Programme Management Officer.
