The Forum for Regulatory Bodies in Africa (FNRBA) is regarded as a primary vehicle to establish a framework for cooperation and collaboration amongst National Regulatory Bodies in the African region. The significance of networking through cooperation and collaboration amongst Regulatory Bodies in the African region has also been recognized as a very effective instrument for enhancing the sharing of knowledge and experience essential to the prevention of accidents and to the implementation of radiation safety and security measures.

The FNRBA was officially launched in Pretoria, South Africa, on 26 March 2009. Represented by 18 member states in Africa, the FNRBA is established to facilitate the enhancement, strengthening and harmonisation of radiation protection, nuclear safety, as well as to provide a security regulatory infrastructure and framework for members of the FNRBA. The NNR is a member of the FNRBA.
