CBA International Initiatives is seeking volunteers to be trainers for the Supporting Inclusive Resource Development in East Africa (SIRD) Advocates Training Program. This training program aims to equip a core group of lawyers in East Africa with knowledge and skills in natural resource management. In particular, the program emphasizes the legal and economic empowerment of women and communities affected by mining, oil and gas industries.
Training participants will include lawyers working in civil society, legal aid, community-based agencies, government, and extractive companies. The training program consists of a series of modules offered to members of the law societies in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The program will be developed and delivered by East African and Canadian experts, working collaboratively.
Currently we are recruiting trainers in the area of natural resource governance. Topics include:
- Revenue management, transparency and accountability
- Inclusive resource development
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
