RWI Technical Training Course and Policy Lab
In collaboration with Tiri and the Center for Policy Studies at Central European University, RWI has been developing evidence-based practical training courses on governance and integrity in the realm of natural resource revenue management. These courses are part of a joint effort to develop a shared understanding for civil society activists working on governance issues for oil, gas and mining revenues, and to build the knowledge community by expanding the technical training skills of course attendees. The course has two components, 1) an intermediate level fact-based curriculum about the oil, gas and mining industries and current approaches to the resource curse, and 2) a "trainers' training session" that focuses on specific tools and techniques.
Together, these courses offer an interdisciplinary approach that bridges law, politics, economics, public administration, public sector ethics, as well as statistical and ethnographic approaches. Participants become familiar with core strategic and critical approaches for effective and sustainable corruption control and organizational integrity, and with fiscal transparency in the context of broader policy solutions for the extractives sector.

Revenue Watch and our partners engage in increasingly diverse forms of public finance monitoring, including service delivery, participatory budgeting, and aid and expenditure tracking. Our partners are coalescing into an indigenous-led network of non-governmental organizations at the forefront of the battle against corruption and abuse of the public interest.
Grant-making is RWI's primary tool for engaging civil society in resource-rich countries and is an important means to motivate, support and build grassroots movements that create sustained local and international demand for revenue and expenditure transparency.
RWI takes a comprehensive approach to improving governance and development across the entire value chain, from the organization of extractive production, revenue generation, and revenue management, and through to the expenditure processes and national development outcomes.
