National Project Concept Template (Category A)

The information contained in this template should be uploaded to the PCMF IT platform by the NLO of the Member State submitting the concept by 31 May 2012 at the latest. Based on this information the IAEA will assess whether this project concept is in line with the TC quality criteria and requirements. Concepts positively appraised will be further developed into full project documents during the design phase.

Country name
Concept priority no.
Name and contact details of project counterpart and counterpart institution
Title:
Field of activity
Analysis of gaps /problems/needs	Give an in-depth analysis of the major problems/needs to be addressed by the project, as well as of their causes and effects; and explain how these are linked to national development plans or programmes and/or the Country Programme Framework (CPF). Refer to past efforts made in addressing these problems/needs, if any, and explain how the current project proposal builds upon them.

Attach any supporting documents (e.g. texts of national development programmes).
Stakeholder analysis and partnerships

Describe the stakeholder analysis conducted, specifying all the interested or affected parties, end users, beneficiaries, sponsors and partners identified, with clearly defined roles for each entity.
Overall objective (or developmental objective)	State the objective to which the project will contribute, and demonstrate its linkage with a national or broader development programme or priority. It has to be in line with the problems/needs identified.
Analysis of objectives	Draw up an objective tree to highlight the hierarchy of objectives as well as the cause–effect logic that this project is expected to achieve.
Role of nuclear technology and the IAEA	Indicate the nuclear technique that would be used and outline why it is suitable for addressing the problems/needs in question. Is this the only available technique? Does it have a comparative advantage over non-nuclear techniques?

What specific role is the IAEA expected to play in the project?
Safety and regulatory infrastructure	Indicate whether or not the safety infrastructure and associated standards and procedures at the institutional level are adequate to ensure that the project will be implemented in a safe manner. If not, specify the gaps and indicate how they will be addressed.
Project duration	Indicate a realistic starting date (bearing in mind that projects cannot start until minimum National Participation Costs (NPCs) have been paid) and the number of years required to complete the project. (In the case of projects expected to exceed four years, an assessment will be conducted before the end of the fourth year to decide on the validity of an additional year.)
Funding and project budget	Provide an estimate of the total project costs and the funding expected from each stakeholder:
Euro	Comment
