The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization

🎓 36 experts. 16 African countries. Knowledge shared. Capacity built. Mission advanced.

This week in Abidjan 🇨🇮, scientists from across French-speaking Africa came together for an intensive CTBTO training course, learning to access and analyse data from our International Monitoring System (IMS) and turning it into knowledge their countries can use.

Over five days, participants worked hands-on with real waveform data: detecting and locating seismic events, mastering NDC-in-a-Box and Geotool, while exploring how the same technology reaches far beyond its core mission.

Among them were women scientists helping to shape the of National Data Centres in their region - expertise that stays in their countries long after the course ends.

Held with Côte d'Ivoire's Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, this regional workshop for Francophone Africa aligns with our initiative to ensure every State Signatory can fully benefit from the Treaty.

In the CTBT's 30th anniversary year, capacity like this is how a 🌍 verification system becomes truly global.

One Treaty. One Goal. Zero Tests. 🕊️
