Social Sharing
Countries with non-renewable resource wealth face both an opportunity and a challenge. When used well, these resources can create greater prosperity for current and future generations. Squandered, they can cause economic instability, social conflict, and lasting environmental damage. To benefit from resource wealth, citizens, private companies, and governments must make a broad range of decisions. Each requires leaders to consider complex options and trade-offs, and devise strategies to implement these policy choices.

Developed through a unique collaboration between NRGI and the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government, this intensive five-day course provides the training and insight required for senior policy-makers from around the world to manage and govern their nation’s oil, gas or mineral resources for a better future. The course builds a better understanding of the interests of the public and private sectors and facilitates dialogue and mutual appreciation of respective positions between these different groups.



Globally recognised experts and academics have developed this course to encourage public and private sector leaders from multiple countries to share their own experiences, while gaining insights and specialist knowledge about natural resource management. The course looks at both technical policy aspects of managing resource and the complex interplay between governments, companies and citizens.

Course overview



Although the 2020 in-person programme was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, on 10 September 2020 we held a live online taster of our one-week programme, while the 2021 online event series "Managing Oil, Gas and Mining Governance in Exceptional Times," led by Sir Paul Collier, offered interesting and highly informative lectures and discussions with leading experts. 

Participant profile

This course is aimed at policy leaders in the public and private sector, alongside those in senior research and non-profit roles, who are committed to better governance in natural resources, and in a position to influence the governance of these sectors.

Participants should have at least 12 years’ experience and be in a senior leadership position or advisory role.

Topics covered
  • Licensing and discovering minerals
  • Taxing companies and combating tax abuses
  • Directing state-owned enterprises
  • Protecting local societies and the environment
  • Managing revenues and investment
  • Communicating with citizens
  • Implementing your strategy and ensuring accountability

The course is delivered in English.

Fees

The total cost of this course is GBP 8,000. This includes tuition over five days from world-class experts and academics, six nights’ accommodation and most meals, but does not cover overseas transport, visas or other incidentals, including Covid-19-related incidentals (travel changes, quarantine restrictions, any UK entry-related restrictions, etc.)

A limited number of scholarships will be offered on a competitive basis to public sector applicants from select resource-rich countries: Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Guinea, Mexico, Mongolia, Nigeria, Peru, Senegal, Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda. In exceptional cases, scholarship applications from outstanding candidates from other countries may also be considered.
