(Individuals from other countries and sectors are welcome to apply for the course, but will not be considered for scholarships.)

Applicants will also be asked to upload the following additional documentation:

  • Two short essays on the governance challenges associated with extractive industries in the applicant’s country of origin/residence (or internationally for global practitioners) and the applicant’s expectations of how the course will benefit him or her in efforts to help address those challenges.

Shortlisted applicants will be offered a provisional place the week of 14 December and be given a pre-course task to be completed satisfactorily and submitted to the course organizers by 3 January 2016.
