Several demonstration programs of nuclear desalination are also in progress to confirm its technical and economic viability under country specific conditions, with technical co-ordination or support of IAEA.
The recommendations received from participants called for similar meetings to support technical development and central co-ordination of the information identified in the decision-making framework guide.
Issues of environmental degradation, pollution, and health hazards need to be addressed through relevant policies and legislation, appropriate technical applications, institutional strengthening and co-ordination, and expanded environmental awareness.
Furthermore, the clinical and research components of such a programme would each require availability and co-ordination of technical and radiological expertise in both nuclear medicine and oncologic MRI.
He told a Westminster Hall debate on governance of the internet: While the internet is renowned for being a worldwide network free from central control and co-ordination, there is a technical need for some key parts of the internet to be globally co-ordinated and this co-ordination role is undertaken by Iana [Internet Assigned Numbers Authority].
What happens if technical issues, which in the past required little more than co-ordination to find the best solutions, become corrupted by commercial interests?
It creates co-ordination problems of its own (because of different technical standards); to address them, a score of big NGOs set up a consortium called NetHope, which spreads the cost of satellite communications and internet links.
Currently available commercial solutions are inadequate in supporting full network co-ordination in terms of business process changes and technical arrangements.
However, when effectively recommending single ostensibly 'best' technologies or strategies, TA practices can serve unjustifiably to 'close down' debate, failing adequately to address technical uncertainties and social ambiguities, reducing scope for democratic accountability and co-ordination across scales and contexts.
Good co-ordination is also being achieved with bilateral programs of technical assistance.
To strengthen co-ordination of assistance and improve aid effectiveness, we engage in technical working groups with government institutions, development partners and civil society.
