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.
Brunei Darussalam has been an IAEA Member State since 2014. Its 2025-2031 CPF identifies three priority areas:
- Nuclear radiation safety and nuclear security
- Food and agriculture
Health and nutrition
