Improve regulatory practices in South Africa
Support African region - related to Nuclear Safety and Security

5. CNSS Strategy
Collaborate with any institution with any matter falling within NNR mandate;
Collaborate with any educational scientific or government or institution;
Provide financial or other assistance in connection with the training of NNR staff.

6. International Partners
ISTC: SUPPORT TO SOUTHERN AFRICAN STATES IN NUCLEAR SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS
Project Steering Committee composition – South Africa and participating countries
Provide training and technical support relevant to the project
Coordination and facilitation for development of web-based communication system .e.g South Africa host system
Public Awareness of Transportation Safety & related
IAEA – Practical Arrangement
Designation of CNSS as the IAEA Regional Capacity-building Centre for Nuclear Safety and Security
leverage on the IAEA funding to extend its nuclear safety expertise and training of SADC Member States and FNRBA members at large
