A breakthrough for cancer care in Tunisia🇹🇳

Tunisia is now producing 18F-PSMA locally—a key radiopharmaceutical for advanced prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. This expands access to nuclear medicine and reduces reliance on imports.

Nearly a decade after Paraguay’s first imPACT Review mission, an international expert team led by the IAEA has highlighted important progress in cancer prevention, early detection and treatment across the country 🇵🇾.

From expanded diagnostic services to strong HPV vaccination coverage and growing technical capacity, the mission identified key advances while outlining priorities to further strengthen access to cancer care nationwide under the Agency’s #RaysOfHope initiative.

Visited @kisrofficial 🇰🇼 and saw firsthand the impressive work being done in nuclear science and technology for environmental protection.

We had a good exchange on progress being made through our cooperation, including a project carried out on board the Al-Mostakshif research vessel with the @IAEAorg under #NUTECplastics to improve understanding of ocean acidification, microplastics and other threats to marine ecosystems.

A strong example of how science and partnerships can help protect the environment.

African countries are stepping up efforts to eliminate disease-carrying tsetse flies using data and nuclear science.

With support from the IAEA, up-to-date maps built from the latest data show where the flies are and where action is needed most. Using the Sterile Insect Technique, nuclear technology helps stop the flies from reproducing.

Combined, these efforts are helping protect people, livestock and food security.

[Ministry of Infrastructure | Rwanda @RwandaInfra]

During the second edition of the Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa (NEISA), Rwanda signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to strengthen cooperation on the integration of nuclear energy into the national energy mix. 1/2

[World Bank Rwanda @WB_Rwanda]

.@WorldBankGroup reaffirmed its support through @iaeaorg-backed programmes and its commitment to supporting #Rwanda in implementing Phase II requirements.

[Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa @NEISAfrica]

During the Human Capacity Development: Building Africa's Nuclear Workforce session at #NEISA2026, industry leaders, policymakers, educators, and international experts examined the urgent need to develop a highly skilled workforce capable of supporting Africa’s expanding nuclear energy ambitions and long-term industrial transformation.

The session explored how Africa can strengthen its nuclear talent pipeline through investment in STEM education, specialized technical training, regulatory capacity building, research and innovation programs, and stronger partnerships between universities, governments, and industry. Discussions also addressed the growing demand for engineers, reactor operators, cybersecurity specialists, radiation protection experts, project managers, and nuclear regulators as more African countries advance their nuclear energy programs.

Speakers emphasized that building a sustainable nuclear sector requires more than infrastructure and technology deployment. It also requires long-term investment in people, institutions, and knowledge systems that can support safe, secure, and reliable nuclear operations for decades to come.

[Rafael Mariano Grossi @rafaelmgrossi]

Important step forward for Rwanda’s nuclear energy plans.

Together with @RwandaInfra’s @Dr_JimmyGasore, signed an @IAEAorg/@RwandaGov agreement to strengthen cooperation on integrating nuclear energy into Rwanda’s energy mix, including SMRs.

The agreement covers support on energy planning, infrastructure development, training, stakeholder engagement, financing and capacity building as 🇷🇼 moves forward with its plans.

[IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ @iaeaorg]

Across Africa, scientists are turning data into action to protect vital water resources.

With support from IAEA, experts have analysed over 20,000 water samples using nuclear techniques to better understand groundwater and prevent pollution.

The results are already shaping national water management plans, strengthening access to clean water and supporting long-term sustainability across the continent.

Protecting America's livestock industry requires leadership. If not addressed, American farmers, families, and animals can suffer. The @USDA is leading a coordinated national and international effort to push the New World Screwworm further south. This leadership is vital to protect billions in livestock-related economic activity and to preserve our farms. Through technical cooperation with the @IAEATC, we are working to keep Americans safe and the American cattle industry prosperous.
