RAF 9038 Final Coordination Meeting Challenges: • • Management commitment: Good; the DG and all directors involved. Training / understanding: ARSN staff trained. SARIS is now well understood by ARSN staff Personnel: Personnel of other organizations linked to ARSN trough MOU to be trained. Time: ARSN managed sufficient time for the training of its personnel on SARIS. Difficulty to manage suitable time table with other organizations. Technical (software, question-sets, etc. ): No difficulty so far identified with the software and question-set. English language is a concern for many persons (out of ARSN) since Senegal is a French speaking country. External (i. e. cooperation from other organizations, etc. ): Cooperation with customs, Fireman Gendarmerie: difficult to have suitable timetable convenient for all for training and (later) performing the self assessment. Others: IAEA 4
