Session VII: The Programme Cycle Dazhu Yang, Director, Division for Asia and the Pacific, Department of Technical Cooperation Andy Garner, Programme Coordinator, Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications
Session objective • To provide an understanding of the technical cooperation programme cycle and preparations for the next programming cycle 2014–2015
Preparing the TC programme • The TC programme isneeds-based, and results-oriented and is developed through a consultative process • Guidelineswith milestones and deadlines are provided at the start of each planning cycle • provide systematic guidance for all stakeholders on the planning and design process • ensure consistently high quality in all TC programme and project documents • Documents for TACC are issuedfive weeks in advance • Support is provided to Member States (NLOs, counterparts, Permanent Missions) throughout the process
The TC Programme Cycle PROGRAMME PLANNING & APPROVAL PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMME REVIEW
TC Programming Process Context Programme & Project Planning - Design Concept Phase Design Phase Country plans (e.g. CPF) ↕ IAEA Services • Translate • plans • into • Programmes / • Project concepts Translate Concepts into Projects Put it all together Project Document Sharing Best Practices
Logical Framework Approach A widely adopted development planning methodology Used to improve the design, implementation and assessment of a policy, a programme or a project The matrix describes the logic, chain of results, indicators and assumptions
Review: Quality, technical, safety • Review andfeedbackat two levels/phases: concept and design • Qualityreviewthroughouttheprocess • Technical Officer participates in review process • Project reviewed for compliance with the Statute, INFCIRC/267,and all relevant decisions of the Agency’s Policy-Making Organs and the Security Council
Secretariat support for the planning and design process • Guidelinesand training for the Planning and Design of the TC programme – Logical Framework Approach applied, quality strengthened • Pre-planning and pre-project missionsto support preparation of programmes • Identification of safety gapsand needs for additional safety support • Information onthematic areasfor cooperation
IT tools for the planning and design process • Programme Cycle Management Framework (PCMF) IT platform • Facilitates programme processes and stakeholders interaction • All templates available online • Whole national programme visible at any time • TC-PRIDE web site • Updated financial and other information on all ongoing and completed TC projects • Expected to be fully operational again 2Q 2012
Support available on PCMF • Templates(Project Document, Programme Notes) • PCMF Reference Desk • TC Programme Quality Criteria • IAEA Fields of Activity used by TC Projects • Policy for Interregional Projects • Policy for Regional Projects • TC Programme Planning and Design Glossary • Note Verbaleon the start of preparations for the technical cooperation programme, including the guidelines, criteria for appraisal and approval, and timeframe for the planning and design of the TC programme.
Documents for TACC approval/information • Cover document: Technical Cooperation: The Agency's Proposed Programme for [date] • Technical Cooperation New Project Listings for [date] by Region and Country, and by Field of Activity Code • Technical Cooperation Active Project Listings for [date] by Region and Country, and by Field of Activity Code • [any special evaluation conducted in response to Security Council resolution] • Online-documents • Overview of the Agency’s Proposed [date] Technical Cooperation Programme (interregional, regional and national overviews and new project descriptions, available on-line only)
The TC programme: a continuous programming and implementation cycle • Implementation and programming go hand in hand – there is no break! YEAR 1: 2010 Upstream work for 2012–2013 Implementation of 2009–2011 programme YEAR 2: 2011 Review / adjust / approval Implementation of 2009–2011 programme YEAR 3: 2012 Implementation of 2012–2013 programme Up stream work for 2014–2015 programme YEAR 4: 2013 Implementation of 2012–2013 programme Review / adjust / approval of 2014–2015 programme We are here
Project design requires teamwork! • Secretariat Staff • NLO • Counterpart • Appropriate thematic Institutions in Member States • Other partners
Fields of Activity (FoAs) • Fields of Activity (FoAs): a classification of the TC programme and projects by thematic area • There are 30 Fields of Activity (cancer, water, nuclear power, safety etc.)
Streamlined Fields of Activity • Safety and security • Legal, governmental and emergency preparedness and response infrastructures • Safety of nuclear installations • Control of radiation sources • Radiation protection of workers and patients • Transport safety • Nuclear security • Radioactive waste management, decommissioning and environmental remediation • 30 streamlined Fields of Activity • Reported under 7 groupings • Industrial applications / radiation technology • Reference products for science and trade • Research reactors • Cleaner and safer management of industrial processes • Sustainable energy • Energy planning • Introduction of nuclear power • Nuclear power reactors • Nuclear fuel cycle • Nuclear knowledge development and management • Building nuclear science competencies • Nuclear knowledge and human resource management • Health and nutrition • Prevention and control of cancer • Radiation oncology in cancer management • Nuclear medicine and diagnostic imaging • Radioisotope production and radiation technology for health care • Quality assurance and metrology in radiation medicine • Nutrition and infections disease management • Water and the environment • Water resources management • Understanding climate change • Marine and coastal environments • Food and agriculture • Crop production • Agricultural water and soil management • Livestock production • Insect pest control • Food safety
EXAMPLE: Increasing Agricultural Production in the Coastal Area through Improved Crop, Water and Soil Management • Objectives: • Identification and assessment of saline-tolerant crop varieties • Evaluation of water use from ponds and natural depressions for drip irrigation • Measurement of the soil content in order to ensure optimal irrigation scheduling
Reviewing Concepts and Designs • What issue is being addressed? • Are the specific nuclear techniques identified appropriate for addressing the issue? • Does it meet central criterion? • Do the techniques have a comparative advantage? • Meet safety requirements? • Is there adequate physical infrastructure and human resources to support the project? • Will external institutions and partners participate in the project? • Is there a need to organize planning mission(s)?
