Next Generation Resource Governance Leaders Program Now Open
The Next Generation Resource Governance Leaders Program aims to provide an internship experience that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. It is designed to equip participants with the necessary skills and abilities to think innovatively and solve complex governance challenges. Additionally, the program serves as a strategy to cultivate a new generation of pan-African leaders who are committed to promoting good governance.
Our primary goal is to train and support young individuals in a conducive working environment through a structured capacity development process. This includes comprehensive training in transformational leadership, professional and career development, as well as digital communication and technology skills. In addition to the technical aspects of resource governance, interns will also receive guidance and tools to help them set and achieve personal and professional goals, while fostering well-rounded and ethical leadership qualities.
