Overall, 48 Member States, the European Union and governmental and non-governmental organizations have contributed to NSF since its establishment. Their financial contributions range from few thousand to over 11 million euros.

In the period 2020-2024, 26 donors provided funding to the NSF:

In addition, over 28 organizations from the industry, the academia and the third sector provided financial support especially for IAEA major meetings and conferences.

Diversifying the streams of extrabudgetary contributions, with the help of new donors joining the NSF, is a necessity to ensure the sustainability of the Agency’s support to Member States in the field of nuclear security.

Other Contributions and Partnerships

The IAEA actively engages with donors to also receive in-kind contributions. These are donations of goods or services, other than financial contributions.

Furthermore, the IAEA continuously works to establish or expand partnerships with Member States institutions to further strengthen its capacity to deliver assistance in the area of nuclear security. Some examples are the designation of Collaborating Centres, the launch of Coordinated Research Projects, partnerships with universities and academic institutions, in particular through the International Nuclear Security Education Network (INSEN), the International Network for Nuclear Security Training and Support Centers (NSSCs), and partnerships with national and international professional and research organizations through practical arrangements.
