About
TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING:CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT: CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE GO HAND IN HAND AS PART OF NRGI'S COMMITMENT TO FACILITATING EFFECTIVE POLICY DECISIONS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY BUILDING LONG-TERM CAPACITY. WE CARRY OUT BOTH CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WITH MULTIPLE AUDIENCES, INCLUDING CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENTS, JOURNALISTS, PARLIAMENTARIANS AND YOUTH. BY CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT, WE REFER TO ACTIVITIES THAT ENABLE OUR COUNTERPARTS TO BUILD THEIR SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE OVER TIME, TO MORE EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OR OVERSEE NATURAL RESOURCE SECTORS. OUR EFFORTS INCLUDE SUBSTANTIAL COMMITMENTS TO INNOVATIVE TRAINING PROGRAMS. IN 2018, NRGI LAUNCHED PETRONIA, AN INTERACTIVE ONLINE COURSE UNLIKE ANY OTHER IN THE RESOURCE GOVERNANCE FIELD, WHERE LEARNERS CAN "PLAY" AT INFLUENCING RESOURCE GOVERNANCE OUTCOMES IN A SIMULATED CONTEXT. IDEAL FOR ONLINE LEARNERS WITH LIMITED BACKGROUND IN THE FIELD, BUT A DESIRE TO UNDERSTAND KEY ISSUES, PETRONIA MAKES LEARNING ABOUT RESOURCE GOVERNANCE FUN AND INTERACTIVE WITH DYNAMIC ANIMATIONS AND A CLOSE FOCUS ON LEARNING THROUGH ROLEPLAYING AND GAMIFICATION. ADDITIONALLY, NRGI CONTINUES TO PROVIDE FORMAL TRAININGS PROGRAMS THROUGH OUR REGIONAL KNOWLEDGE HUBS, OR TRAINING CENTERS, ASPIRING TO BUILD UP THE CORE CAPACITIES OF A CRITICAL MASS OF OVERSIGHT ACTORS AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS THROUGHOUT THE REGIONS WHERE WE WORK, FACILITATE INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE-SHARING AND WHERE APPROPRIATE, ENABLE OUR INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS TO BECOME RENOWNED AND INDEPENDENT KNOWLEDGE CENTERS. BEYOND THE HUBS, WE CONDUCT A VARIETY OF IN-DEPTH COURSES, SOME FOCUSED ON PARTICULAR STAKEHOLDER GROUPS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE ORGANIZED TRAININGS ON DATA ANALYSIS FOR MEMBERS OF CIVIL SOCIETY AND MEDIA IN MONGOLIA AND WORKSHOPS ON MINERALS FISCAL REGIME FOR MEMBERS OF TANZANIA'S PARLIAMENT.TRAINING REPRESENTS THE BEGINNING, NOT THE END OF A JOURNEY TO INCREASED CAPACITY. WE RECOGNIZE THAT DEVELOPING CAPACITY OVER TIME REQUIRES FOLLOW UP, MENTORSHIP, AND ACTIVITIES EMBEDDED IN THE FABRIC OF THE WORK THAT PARTNERS ARE CARRYING OUT EVERY DAY. AS SUCH, WHEREVER POSSIBLE, WE LINK CAPACITY BUILDING EFFORTS TO ONGOING SUPPORT SUCH AS SMALL COMPETITIVE GRANTS AND TO NRGI TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE THAT HELPS THEM ACT ON NEW KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. OUR CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS HAVE INCREASINGLY BECOME GROUNDED IN COUNTRY LEVEL INTERVENTIONS SO THAT WE CAN FOLLOW UP MORE SYSTEMATICALLY ON INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS.
