5. MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE IAEA STRATEGY
Vision
Education and training infrastructures
for building and maintaining national competence in radiation, transport and waste safety,
are in place in Member States,
consistent with IAEA safety standards

6. MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE IAEA STRATEGY
Objectives
To strengthen radiation, transport and waste safety infrastructures through building competence in Member States (MS)
To facilitate the development and implementation of a national strategy for E&T in radiation, transport and waste safety in MS
To ensure that E&T programmes in MS address the requirements of the IAEA safety standards.

7. MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE IAEA STRATEGY
Outputs
Guidance on the establishment and implementation of a national strategy for building competence
Development of training material and organization of training courses (PGEC, Train-the-Trainers, RPO training, STCs)
Long-term agreements with Regional Training Centres (RTCs).

8. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IAEA STRATEGY
Key roles
IAEA
Member States
Regional Training Centres (RTCs)
The successful implementation of the proposed strategy will require effective interaction between the IAEA, the Regional Training Centres and Member States. In particular, increased ownership from Member States would be expected over the course of implementation of the plan since this is where the primary responsibility for building competence lies.

9. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IAEA STRATEGY
Activities:
Development and effective use of competence building tools
Effective use of Regional Training Centres
Development of National Strategies for building competence through E&T

10. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IAEA STRATEGY
Competence building tools
Strengthened
radiation and waste safety
through education & training
Postgraduate Education Course in radiation protection and the safety of radiation sources
On the Job
training
Train the Trainers Workshops
Distance learning in radiation protection
Specialized Training Courses in thematic areas
Training of Radiation Protection Officers

13. GENERAL FRAMEWORK on Nat. Strat. For E&T
Requirement 1
National policy and strategy for safety
The government shall establish a national policy and strategy for safety..
In the national policy and strategy, account shall be taken of the following:
…. The need and provision for human resources
The governmental, legal and regulatory framework for safety includes:
…. Provision for acquiring and maintaining the necessary competence nationally for ensuring safety

14. GENERAL FRAMEWORK on Nat. Strat. For E&T
1. Collection of data and analysis of E&T needs
2. Design of a national E&T programme to meet national E&T needs
3. Implementation of the national E&T programme
4. Evaluation and feedback
National Strategy
for E&T
in radiation safety

Outcome
Increased expertise in radiation safety consistent with BSS
Participating MS have developed a National Strategy for E&T in radiation safety in line with the IAEA Strategic Approach
Output
MS are familiarized with the IAEA concept of National Strategy for E&T in radiation safety
Competent bodies have agreed to a procedure for developing, endorsing and implementing an E&T strategy in radiation safety, and National E&T strategy drafted.
Compliance of E&T infrastructure in radiation protection assessed
Information in RASIMS updated
