A broad mix of government
officials from various agencies,
including ministries of environment,
water, energy, education, health,
finance and the interior, and from
national institutes and regional
development agencies, are sought to

selection of participants is based
on the existing governmental
structures and competencies for
implementing sustainable development
policy.
Participants are expected to:
- come from the target countries;
- have responsibilities in policy making and
cooperation with other institutions;
- hold permanent civil servant positions in their
institutions;
- be available to attend the obligatory (first and
last) modules, plus one of the elective modules; and
- have a solid command of the language of
instruction.

indicates the applicant’s
current position and
responsibilities, as well as

and
