Description

The Pelindaba Treaty which aims to create a nuclear weapon-free zone in Africa entered into force in July 2009. The African Commission on Nuclear Energy was created for the implementation of the treaty’s provisions and to develop nuclear sciences and techniques. In this context it also consists of political statements of many African countries aiming to embark on nuclear power programs and contrasting with a real lack of human resources in most nuclear application fields, including those related to non-proliferation and verification regime skills. And other on-site inspection activities, the partnership of CTBTO which is already fruitful in many fields as data analyses, OSI activities, maintenance of equipment may play key roles at different stages and levels.
The CTBTO cooperation on sensitization and support to train a critical number of persons, including decision makers, technical staff and operators is a key point to help countries to comply with international tools on safeguards, non-proliferation, on-site inspection skills for their programs and to provide with the regional legal instruments the necessary human resources to boost their implementation.
