Based on regional needs, the hub offers basic auxiliary courses in addition to core courses on the EI value chain and technical trainings. The hub provides EITI courses for a number of countries (Albania, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Ukraine) as these countries work towards validation and compliance statuses. EITI Essentials courses run for countries that have not yet signed up for the initiative but would benefit from revenue transparency, and the opportunity for civil society to work with government and companies as part of a multi-stakeholder group. Such agenda-setting courses would target countries such as Turkmenistan, where very little traction has been gained in democratic governance.
Another auxiliary course will be offered on EI contracts for as long as it remains a topical subject for a group of countries in the region (Afghanistan, Albania, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia). Some of these auxiliary courses will be offered in different countries in the region.
Auxiliary courses are short (3 days long) and have a specific goal-oriented character. The content of these courses will be delivered progressively on a multilevel basis, e.g. including knowledge and skills in that field.
