Funding

Interregional projects deliver support across national and regional boundaries, and address the needs of several Member States in different regions. Interregional projects are categorized as trans-regional, global, capacity building or as joint activities with an international entity. Small in number, interregional projects mainly target human resource development. For example, in the Mediterranean region, an interregional project has built capacity in ‘cradle to grave’ management of sealed radioactive sources, with the financial support of the European Union. The Agency’s technical cooperation activities are supported by the Technical Cooperation Fund (TCF). This is funded by Member State contributions, based on shares established using UN assessment rates. The target for the TC Fund is set by the Board of Governors and finalized in a General Conference resolution.
