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.

As part of its vision to strengthen cooperative relations at both regional and international levels, the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) has intensified its bilateral engagements with representatives of regulatory bodies operating in its areas of expertise. These exchanges aim to open new avenues for collaboration and lay the groundwork for future joint projects.

In this context, Mr. Saïd MOULINE, Director General of AMSSNuR, successively hosted Mr. Jean-Luc LACHAUME, Commissioner of the French Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ASNR), Ms. Ditebogo KGOMO, Chief Executive Officer of the National Nuclear Regulator of South Africa (NNR), and Mr. Yau IDRIS, Director General of the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA) and Chair of the Forum of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa (FNRBA). These meetings, held on the sidelines of the launch of the INSC project in Rabat from February 11 to 13, 2025, provided an opportunity to explore avenues of cooperation between AMSSNuR and these institutions, both bilaterally and multilaterally, with the aim of enhancing nuclear and radiological safety and security.

 

In the same spirit, Mr. MOULINE also welcomed Mr. James KETER CHUMBA, Director General of the Kenyan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (KNRA), during a working visit. This meeting served as an opportunity to share AMSSNuR’s regulatory oversight experience and to strengthen cooperation between the two institutions on topics of mutual interest.

 

Through these initiatives, AMSSNuR reaffirms its commitment to strengthening regulatory capacities in Africa and establishing robust collaborative frameworks for effective, harmonized, and sustainable nuclear safety.
