South Africa accepts the African Regional Co-operative Agreement for Research, Development and Training Related to Nuclear Science and Technology

Rapulane Molekane, Resident Representative of South Africa to the IAEA, deposited an instrument of acceptance of the African Regional Co-operative Agreement for Research, Development and Training Related to Nuclear Science and Technology (AFRA) on behalf of South Africa.

AFRA is an intergovernmental agreement established by African Member States to strengthen the contribution of nuclear science and technology to socioeconomic development on the African continent. AFRA, which first entered into force in 1990 and was revised in 2020, provides a framework for IAEA Member States in Africa to intensify their collaboration through programmes focused on the specific shared needs of its members. Its activities cover a wide range of peaceful applications of nuclear science and technology that contribute to the achievement of national and regional development goals. AFRA now has 38 parties.
