The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board of governors' meeting in November focused on technical cooperation and verification. Opening the meeting, IAEA director general Mohamed ElBaradei drew the board's attention to a report from the Technical Assistance and Cooperation Committee outlining the Technical Cooperation (TC) Programme for 2009-2011. He said it was "demand-driven and responds to the development priorities identified by member states, which have been closely involved in its formulation." He added that it was a strong programme, and it was the responsibility of member states to see that it was implemented. As well as support for medical and agricultural projects, he noted that "more and more member states are considering launching nuclear power programmes and asking the agency for assistance."
