Marcel Fortuna Biato, Ambassador and Resident Representative of the Federative Republic of Brazil to the IAEA, and Dazhu Yang, IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Technical Cooperation, signed Brazil's Country Programme Framework (CPF) for the period of 2020–2024 on 10 December 2019. A CPF is the frame of reference for the medium-term planning of technical cooperation between a Member State and the IAEA and identifies priority areas where the transfer of nuclear technology and technical cooperation resources will be directed to support national development goals.
Brazil has been an IAEA Member State since 1957. Its 2020–2024 CPF identifies four priority areas:
- Radiation and nuclear safety and security
- Food and agriculture
- Health and nutrition
- Water and the environment
- Energy and industry
