Training on Managing Mining, Oil and Gas for National Development
Course Overview
Mineral, oil, and gas resources can drive economic transformation, industrialization, infrastructure development, employment creation, and public revenue when managed effectively. However, countries often face challenges such as weak governance, revenue leakages, environmental degradation, resource conflicts, limited local participation, and overdependence on extractive industries. Governments, regulators, state-owned enterprises, and development partners must establish sound policies, transparent institutions, and sustainable resource management strategies that maximize long-term national benefits while protecting communities and the environment.
This course equips participants with practical knowledge and policy tools to manage mining, oil, and gas resources for sustainable national development. Participants learn how to design resource governance frameworks, strengthen legal and regulatory systems, manage extractive revenues, promote local content and value addition, negotiate resource contracts, oversee environmental and social impacts, support community development, attract responsible investment, and integrate natural resource management into national development plans. The course also covers fiscal regimes, sovereign wealth funds, revenue transparency, public financial management, energy security, climate transition, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles, and digital technologies for extractive sector governance.
Participants examine internationally recognized frameworks and best practices, including the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) Standard, Natural Resource Charter, African Mining Vision (AMV), United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, World Bank Extractives Global Programmatic Support (EGPS) guidance, IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, and Equator Principles. Through policy analysis, fiscal modeling, stakeholder engagement exercises, governance simulations, and real-world case studies, participants develop the skills to manage extractive resources transparently, strengthen institutions, promote inclusive economic growth, and maximize long-term national development outcomes.
