RWI Petrad Fellowships

12:02:00 PM

RWI offers individual support awarded to individuals for fellowship opportunities based on a competitive bidding process on an annual basis. Currently RWI awards one type of fellowship in partnership with the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD): Petrad Fellowships. Fellows are selected as part of a competitive process.

The application process opens in early February and continues until mid-March.

Selection of the applicants includes input from Revenue Watch Regional and Capacity Building Staff, former fellows and PWYP International. Successful applicants will be notified in early April.

Petrad Fellowships: an eight-week program to attend a course in Stavanger, Norway on Petroleum Policy and Natural Resource Management run by Petrad. This intensive course spanning the entire extractive industries value-chain is usually only open to senior government officials. The fellowship aims to enable fellows to immediately take their campaigns to a more technical level upon returning to their home organization or coalition and share their knowledge with their colleagues over time. By targeting leaders in the extractive industries transparency movement, this program aims to quickly raise civil society's ability to engage in technical debates surrounding extractive industries.

In order to be eligible the applicant must:

  • Have an undergraduate degree or equivalent and excellent English skills;
  • Be in a leadership role in his/her current organization or coalition that will enable him/her to promote direct change as a result of the experience;
  • Have strong diplomatic skills and a solid understanding of issues related to extractive industries to engage in nuanced discussions about policies;
  • Have the explicit support of his/her current home organization;
  • Have met all requirements of any current or past grant awarded by RWI.
