The meeting of the Technical Working Group shall be convened by the IAEA as required and, at least, once every year.​​​​​​

The cost of attendance of the TWGM shall be borne by Member States. Exceptionally, the IAEA may bear the costs of participation (transportation and Daily Subsidence Allowances) of the National Coordinators from the African Least Developed Countries (LDCs). This IAEA contribution is meant for the officially appointed National Coordinators from LDCs and it is not extended to their representatives. Moreover, the IAEA may contribute an amount of up to $5 000 to the LDCs to help them host the TWG meetings. This contribution is meant for hospitality and management of the TWG meeting. This amount shall be adjusted at the beginning of each five-year term to take into consideration the increase in the cost of living in Africa.
