Description
The recent experiences gained from the 2024 National Data Centre (NDC) training in Kenya and the NDC workshop in China have given us clear insights into the benefits of an NDC. Such benefits include a country’s active participation in a world free from nuclear explosion, capacity building, access to International Monitoring System data and International Data Centre products, etc. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization plays a pivotal role in the global nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation programme, with an emphasis on monitoring nuclear tests worldwide. Therefore, my study aims to highlight the significance of an NDC for The Gambia, which has signed and ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. The waveforms training provided me with valuable technical knowledge in signal analysis using Geotool for the first time, critical for monitoring nuclear tests, enhancing the country's capabilities in detecting nuclear explosions and obtaining other data related to environmental/ climate activities. Furthermore, the NDC meetings in The Gambia and China offered a deeper understanding of the strategic and operational roles of NDCs globally, showcasing the collaboration between States Signatories.
