This Project will address the significant biosecurity and health security aspects of the ongoing Ebola outbreak (2026) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda. The Project aims to: (1) provide support for effective biosafety and biosecurity measures; (2) strengthen rapid diagnostic and surveillance mechanisms; and (3) improve effective cross-border coordination with law enforcement and other security actors.

This project aims to reduce threats to Canadians and the international community posed by the proliferation and use of weapons of mass destruction. Project activities include: (1) implementing national capability assessment and training processes in high-priority countries to build nuclear counter-smuggling capabilities; and (2) implementing regional Geiger working groups gathering law enforcement and security service agencies. These groups seek to share information on nuclear and radiological security threats and emerging trends.

This project aims to reduce the threat to the global population of a nuclear or radiological security event. It seeks to enhance the cybersecurity resilience of nuclear facilities in Ukraine, and in countries in the Indo-Pacific, Latin America and Africa. Project activities include: (1) assessing beneficiaries’ cybersecurity knowledge, skills and policies; (2) delivering tailored online courses; (3) conducting simulation attack exercises; and (4) developing policy recommendations in line with international best practices.

This project aims to implement three activities to enhance nuclear security: (1) convene at least six technical and consultancy meetings of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Nuclear Harmonization and Standardization Initiative Working Group that will produce guidance and tools that Member States can use to inform their national decisions to adopt and deploy small modular reactors; (2) convene the 4th International Conference on the Safe and Secure Transport of Nuclear and Radioactive Material; and (3) convene the 3rd International Conference on Computer Security in the Nuclear World.

This project with the International Atomic Energy Agency will bring together research institutions to collaborate on a Coordinated Research Project to assess and advance computer security for small modular reactors. Key activities include: (1) convening at least nine research coordination meetings, consultancy meetings, and expert missions; (2) production of reports on cybersecurity for small modular reactors by each participating research institution; (3) production of fifteen scientific papers and tools on cybersecurity for small modular reactors; and (4) publishing one technical document on cybersecurity for small modular reactors to provide guidance to Member States.

This project will significantly strengthen Ukraine and Moldova’s capacities to prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to chemical and broader chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats. Project activities include: (1) delivery of training for security and law enforcement agencies in Ukraine and Moldova on preventing, detecting, investigating and responding to chemical weapons incidents; (2) development and delivery of a train-the-trainer program on chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological investigations for the Security Service of Ukraine; and (3) delivery of training workshops and exercises to security personnel, judges and prosecutors in Ukraine and Moldova covering investigation, prosecution and adjudication of chemical crimes.

This project aims to support ongoing efforts to advance the participation of women in the nuclear security and non-proliferation field. The project seeks to engage at least 12 women from developing countries in the following activities: (1) providing funds for a gender equality event that engages other women in their home institutions; (2) providing a five-session webinar training series to develop knowledge and skills; and (3) conducting an in-person workshop to allow beneficiaries to engage in policy discussions with women experts from international institutions and participate in a tabletop exercise on nuclear risk.

This project aims to support the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to: (1) investigate and determine the full scope of the Syrian Arab Republic’s chemical weapons programme and identify all declarable elements; (2) support the Syrian Arab Republic to produce a chemical weapons destruction plan; and (3) investigate allegations of past chemical weapons use in Syria and identify the perpetrators.

This project aims to strengthen the universalization and national implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) by supporting the ATT Secretariat’s Sponsorship Programme and the Voluntary Trust Fund (VTF). Project activities include: (1) enabling the participation of eligible States in Conferences of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty and in informal preparatory meetings to facilitate the Conference deliberations and outcomes; and (2) contributing to the ATT Voluntary Trust Fund (VTF) to support requesting States with legal/legislative assistance, institutional capacity development, and technical/material support to implement the Treaty.

This project seeks to reduce the threat to global populations of a nuclear and radiological security event. It focuses on promoting the implementation of legal frameworks and developing human resource capabilities in the nuclear security sector. Project activities include: (1) organizing workshops and meetings to promote and support the implementation of the Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material; (2) providing physical protection and radiation detection equipment to two Nuclear Security Support Centres; and (3) organizing expert missions and training workshops on nuclear security related human resource development.
