What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

The Bureau of Energy Resources (ENR) of the U.S. Department of State announces an opportunity for organizations to submit applications to enter a Cooperative Agreement with ENR.

This three-year Cooperative Agreement with ENR will focus on establishing the Energy Resource Governance Initiative (ERGI) Academy, a center for convening delegates from governments around the world to experience hands-on training in minerals governance topics of their choosing, as well as site visits to active mining operations to see these principles in action. To achieve this goal, the Recipient will provide delegates training and advisory support to strengthen institutional capacity in modern, best-in-class mining sector operations, management, regulation, and enforcement. Activities under this Cooperative Agreement will include course curriculum development and training, capacity-building, on-site mining site visits, technical advisory support for mining sector governance topics, and job shadowing.

Please see the attached Notice of Funding Opportunity document for a detailed description of the project.
