Overview

A credible, robust nuclear non-proliferation regime is essential to facilitate the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Without safe and secure handling of nuclear material, plants, reactors and waste disposal, Africa’s ability to utilise nuclear technology for its developmental objectives in Agenda 2063 and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals is compromised. The project aims to contribute to: 1. Enhancing capacity in Africa’s nuclear governance institutions and official oversight bodies to ensure full compliance with relevant multilateral agreements; 2. Informing civil society engagement in nuclear governance and the developmental utility of nuclear science and technology; 3. Strengthening African agency on the use of nuclear science and technology for development; and 5. Building African norm entrepreneurship and voice in global nuclear forums.
