South Africa [Macroeconomic and Sectoral Impacts of Nuclear Energy in Participating Member States]

The aim of the South African research team in this CRP is to quantify the economic effects of large nuclear energy programmes in developing countries, in particular in South Africa. The project also helps identify key actors for establishing macroeconomic modelling capabilities in South Africa and develop skills and data sets for the modelling activities. The lessons learned from the project can be rolled out to the rest of Africa and the Network for Education in Nuclear Science and Technology under the Africa Regional Cooperative Agreement for Research Development and Training Related to Science and Technology can be used for this purpose.
