Associate Programme Analyst(P2)

Organizational Setting

The Department of Nuclear Safety and Security (NS) formulates and implements the IAEA's nuclear safety and security programme, which encompasses the Agency's activities to protect people and the environment from radiation exposure and responds to the needs of its Member States related to nuclear safety and nuclear security.

The Division of Nuclear Security (NSNS) is responsible for establishing, coordinating and implementing the IAEA's nuclear security programme to protect against, detect and respond to criminal acts or acts of nuclear terrorism and threats thereof. NSNS comprises four Sections\:

• Nuclear Security of Materials Outside of Regulatory Control Section
• Nuclear Security of Materials and Facilities Section
• Information Management Section
• Programme Development and International Cooperation Section

The Programme Development and International Cooperation Section (PDIC) provides support to the overall planning and coordination of the work of the Division including responsibility for and management of the Nuclear Security Fund, the evaluation of results, financial matters; and interaction with and reporting to donors. PDIC assists in the development and promotion of nuclear security through development of IAEA guidance in nuclear security, promotion of relevant international legal instruments, facilitating nuclear security working and advisory groups, and providing Divisional communications and outreach support. The Section assists in human resource development in nuclear security for Member States, coordinating and advising on overall strategy, methodology and evaluation development for the Division’s education and training programmes. It coordinates two collaborative Networks for nuclear security education and training, one for nuclear security academic and educational institutions (INSEN) and one for national Nuclear Security Support Centres (NSSCs).

The Programme, Budget and Reporting Unit supports the Division of Nuclear Security on programme and project formulation, output delivery, implementation and results-based evaluation and reporting. It coordinates across the Division and other relevant stakeholders to ensure the timely and accurate preparation of the Division of Nuclear Security’s programme, budget and reporting, including activities carried out under the Nuclear Security Fund. It advises on and approves fund allocation and fund matching, balancing Member States’ requests with donor contribution agreements and conditions. It monitors the programme and budget process, from planning to implementation and reporting, providing guidance for an effective and efficient results-based management of financial resources. The Unit utilizes a results based programming approach to provide Member States with high quality, well-focused and timely information on programmatic activities and to monitor and report on outcomes and achievements. Within the context of IAEA’s Partnership and Resource Mobilization Policy, the Unit applies a coherent resource mobilization plan for the Nuclear Security Fund (NSF), actively liaises with internal and external partners in the implementation of this plan and ensures systematic and transparent reporting on fundraising and related communication activities and results.

Main Purpose

The implementation of activities under the Nuclear Security Plan remains dependent on extra budgetary contributions to the NSF. The level of both contributions and programme implementation has increased in recent years. Currently there are some 40 contributions to the NSF and annual expenditure in excess of 20 million euro. This increase has resulted in both a greater need for programme management and for reporting to Member States on the use made of their contributions. As a member of a team led by the Section Head, the Associate Programme Analyst is responsible for working within the Division of Nuclear Security on the development, coordination of the delivery and evaluation of the programme and the reporting to States on the use made of their contributions to the NSF.


As a member of the team led by the Section Head, the Associate Programme Analyst monitors, reports on and provides analytical support on tasks implemented with NSF funding with the objective of the effective and timely execution of the task.
