The International Centre for Environment Audit and Sustainable Development (iCED), Jaipur; the Global Training Facility (GTF) is organizing an International Training Programme on “Audit of Extractive Industries”, a joint collaboration between the SAI, India and INTOSAI-WGEI in two parts:

Part I: Online from 06.01.2025 to 10.01.2025(5 days), focusing on Module 1 (An Overview of Extractive Industries) and Module 2 (Policy, Legal and Institutional Framework).

Part II: Onsite from 03.03.2025 to 07.03.2025(5 days), covering Module 4 (Awards of Contracts and Licenses) and Module 8 (Environment and Sustainable Development) at International Centre for Environment Audit and Sustainable Development (iCED), Jaipur, India.

The objective of conducting this training in a mixed mode is to provide a foundational understanding during Part-I (Online) and to focus on advanced topics with real-time experiences and hands-on exercises during Part-II (physical mode).

To ensure a comprehensive learning experience, SAIs are encouraged to nominate participants for both parts simultaneously. If SAIs wish to nominate participants only for Part-I (online), they may do so.

However, participation in Part-I is mandatory for those attending Part-II, as the modules are sequential and build upon the content covered in the virtual session.

Nomination forms for Part-I and Part-II have been enclosed separately:

  • For those wishing to participate only in Part-I, the corresponding nomination form should be filled.
  • For participation in Part-II, the nomination form for Part-II should be submitted along with a copy of the participant’s passport. Participation in Part I is mandatory for participating in Part II.

The last date for receiving the nomination is 27th December 2024.
