Training & Capacity Building
There is a knowledge and skills gap amongst civil society, governments and citizens as actors in governance and accountability, economic & fiscal governance, extractive (mining, oil & gas) and climate change governance, trade and investment. These gaps collectively contribute to poor governance, poor policy formulation , legislation and implementation gaps, low citizen capacity to engage, low trade & investment, public resource leakage and poor domestic resource mobilisation, economic vulnerability, and limited opportunities despite potential. We are vulnerably exposed to international institutions & geopolitical economic frameworks that are not best suited for our developmental aspirations. Emerging global trends such as climate change and energy transition affect our continent and countries, yet we lack prerequisite knowledge and abilities to counter. Under this pillar , we provide consultancy, training and capacity building to help relevant actors develop or improve their expertise in
