[Apply] 2022 ACEP Next Generation Resource Governance Leaders Program

ACEP is calling for applications for the third cohort of its ACEP Next Generation Resource Governance Leaders Program. The NextGen Leaders will deliver timely and quality evidence-based policy analysis, training, and advocacy through strong collaborations, ensuring that the ACEP remains a thought-leader in Africa’s energy and the extractive policy space.

The Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP) was established in 2010 to contribute to development of alternative and innovative policy interventions through high quality research, analysis and advocacy in the energy and extractives sector in Africa. The focus of the organisation is to create strong connection between research evidence and advocacy which was limited at the time to increase transparency and accountability around energy and extractive sector governance in the region.

The Next Generation Resource Governance Leaders Program is an internship that lasts for a period of six months and is designed to provide participants with the necessary multi-disciplinary intellectual growth, practical skills, and research ability to conceive of more inventive methods to handle difficult governance issues. The program aims to strike a balance between the theoretical and the practical aspects of resource governance. With this plan, the Program will also ensure that young African leaders have an opportunity to take on leadership roles in their respective countries in the long term.

These will include training on transformational leadership development, professional and career development, and digital communication and technology skills. Essentially, beyond the technical training in resource governance, interns will be exposed to the tools and guidance needed to set and achieve realistic personal and professional goals, coupled with well-rounded and ethical leadership training.
