[en] Niger is putting the finishing touches on its first radiotherapy unit, set to open at the National Cancer Centre (CNLC) in the country’s capital, Niamey. It has been a long road for Niger and its partners, including the IAEA and the Islamic Development Bank (IDB); setting up a new radiotherapy facility is a major and complex task for any country in terms of human and financial resources. Getting the donor funding and support needed requires detailed feasibility documents — often referred to as ‘bankable documents’ — outlining the infrastructure, training and equipment needs of a cancer care facility.
