Fundamentals of Oil and Gas Governance

An LCPS-NRGI Course
by the MENA Natural Resource Governance Hub
  
The Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) and the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies (LCPS) have teamed up to establish a policy hub that aims to support and build the capacities of civil society, journalists, and policymakers to improve the governance of the oil and gas sector for more sustainable development in the MENA region.

This year the hub is offering a course on natural resource governance to professionals from across the region to strengthen their understanding of the oil and gas sector and develop their skills to more effectively engage in policy advocacy, journalism, or other related fields. All those interested in the course are encouraged to apply. Members of civil society and journalists, as well as academics, practitioners, and public officials in the MENA region are eligible for scholarships covering the cost of the course as well as round-trip tickets and accommodation.

Selected participants are invited to attend the course in Beirut, Lebanon from 28 November to 7 December 2018. In addition to the course, participants are invited to attend a conference on the oil and gas sector on Thursday 6 December 2018 at the American University of Beirut.  

Interested applicants are asked to submit their applications before Friday 26 October 2018, either in English or in Arabic.
Applications should be submitted to resourcehub@lcps-lebanon.org
