What's RCA

The Regional Cooperative Agreement (RCA) is an intergovernmental

agreement for the East Asia & Pacific region, under the auspices of the

IAEA, in which the Government Parties undertake, in cooperation with each

other and with the IAEA to promote and coordinate cooperative research,

development (R&D) and training projects in nuclear science and

technology through their appropriate national institutions.

Since the establishment of RCA in 1972, RCA has expanded its

membership from ten to eighteen Member states to promote collaborative

activities in nuclear science and technology through a number of RCA

projects.

RCA projects have contributed significantly in a number of priority areas vital

to regional socio-economic development, such as agriculture, health care,

industry and environmental protection.
