PCMF Programme Note Phase –Major Steps

1. Programme Note Submission

2. Secretariat Review

3. Return of Feedback Note

4. Move of Concept to Design Phase

Phase I

Programme Note: Submission

• Upstream work - concept identification

• NLO collects concepts

• NLO prepares Programme Note

• NLO selects concepts for submission

• Programme Note and Concepts submitted via PCMF website

Programme Note: Secretariat Review

• PMO makes initial review of each concept

• Each concept is passed to Tech Division for review

• Each concept review received PMO Final Review

• Safety review of all Member States concepts

• Consolidated Feedback Note prepared by PMO

• SH-TC and DIR-TC review Feedback Note

• DIR-TC sends Feedback Note to NLO

Programme Note: Feedback Note

• NLO receives Feedback Note

• Feedback Note provides

• guidance

• comments on overview

• comments on concepts

• input to decision making

Programme Note - Move to Design Phase

• Move to design performed by PMO in PCMF

• Withdrawal from further development performed by PMO in PCMF

• Lead counterpart identified at this stage

Major Steps in PCMF Project Design Phase

1. Project / Programme Design

2. Secretariat Agreement

3. TACC/Board Approval

Phase II

Project / Programme Design

• The initial project design is developed off-line using a word template provided

• Concept moved to the design phase by PMO & returned to MS by SH-TC

• Copy background details & the logical framework matrix (LFM) to PCMF

• Submit the design to the IAEA

• The project team reviews the design

• TC/TD review of the project design

• NLO reviews the package for the Member State
