International Atomic Energy Agency

Board of Governors’ Meetings

Agenda Item No. 3

Evaluation of Technical Cooperation Activities in 2019

Statement by the Governor for India

Ambassador Renu Pall

 

 

Madam Chairperson,

At the outset, we would like to thank the Director of the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), for presenting the document “Evaluation of Technical Cooperation Activities in 2019”.

We associate ourselves with the statement delivered by the distinguished Ambassador of Egypt on behalf of G-77 and China Statement and would like to make few additional remarks in our national capacity.

Madam Chairperson,

          We note the finding of the OIOS based on the evaluation of TC related activities in 2019, particularly the common findings across evaluations completed in 2019, aimed at developing an understanding of Agency-wide performance, the results and recurring issues and also OIOS annual work planning. We encourage the Secretariat to carefully assess all the recommendations of the OIOS for their generic applicability and also where relevant, take necessary corrective measures, in consultation with Member States in order to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Technical Cooperation Program.

India believes that science and technology is the foundation for achieving sustainable development. In this regard the Agency’s role in promoting peaceful application of nuclear science and technology is of paramount importance. While we support the Agency’s initiatives for collaborating with UN organizations to achieve synergies, we would like to caution that such initiatives should not undermine the unique framework that the Agency has developed and nurtured such as National Liaison Officers or mechanism of networking etc. for implementing its program.

Madam Chairperson,

With these comments, my delegation takes note of the OIOS report as contained in the document before us.

I, Thank You, Madam Chairperson
