Rabat, July 7, 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 July 7 to 10, 2025 in Rabat, a training and experience-sharing workshop dedicated to leadership and safety culture among regulatory authorities.

Launched in February 2025 in Rabat under the banner “Strengthening nuclear safety regulatory capacity in Africa,” this regional project covers eight thematic areas aimed at building the capacity of regulatory bodies in the fields of nuclear safety and radiation protection in participating African countries.

This workshop, falling under the eighth theme of the project, was organized with the support of European experts, particularly from the Belgian technical support organization Bel V and the French Nuclear and Radiological Safety Authority (ASNR), and benefited representatives from the nuclear safety authorities of the Kingdom of Morocco, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa.

The workshop focused on the application of IAEA standards related to leadership and safety culture, as well as the sharing of international best practices, particularly from Europe. It also led to the development of a roadmap for African authorities to promote these concepts and integrate them into their integrated management systems and capacity-building programs in nuclear and radiological safety and security.

This participation reflects AMSSNuR’s steadfast commitment to strengthening regional cooperation and promoting the highest standards of nuclear and radiological safety and security.
