Training

RWI has developed training courses and materials that meet the learning needs of civil society advocates, government officials, journalists and parliamentarians working toward improving the management of oil, gas and minerals. RWI's materials are tailored to the learning styles of adults, with a focus on learning through participants' own experiences, sustained debates and interaction. The training materials present balanced views and facilitate debates about the pros and cons of policy decisions.

Our materials include agendas and outlines from regional knowledge hub "core courses" on natural resource governance issues; country-specific courses from RWI in-country trainings; and training modules to help others prepare effective trainings on the management and oversight of oil, gas and mining.
