Rabat, 7 July 2025 – As part of the implementation of the Europe/Africa regional cooperation project funded by the European Union, the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) hosted, from 7 to 10 July 2025 in Rabat, a training and experience-sharing workshop in the field of leadership and safety culture of regulatory authorities.
Initiated in February 2025 in Rabat under the banner ” Strengthening nuclear safety regulatory capacity in Africa “, this regional cooperation project covers eight themes aimed at strengthening the capacities of regulatory bodies in the fields of nuclear safety and radiation protection in African partner countries.
As part of the eighth theme, this workshop was organized with the support of European experts, in particular the technical support organization of the Belgian authority Bel V (Belgium) and the French Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ASNR, France), for the benefit of representatives of the nuclear safety authorities of the Kingdom of Morocco, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa.
The work of this workshop focused on the use of IAEA standards in terms of leadership and safety culture, as well as international best practices, particularly in Europe. This work has also led to the development of roadmaps for African authorities to promote these concepts and incorporate them into their integrated management systems, as well as their safety and security capacity development programmes.
This participation demonstrates AMSSNuR’s continued commitment to strengthening regional cooperation and promoting the highest standards of nuclear and radiological safety and security.
