What types of courses are available on the platform?

The platform offers two distinct programs: courses and mini-courses, each designed to address key areas of sustainable governance, sustainable economy, and technology and innovation. These programs follow a bite-sized learning model, allowing learners to engage with diverse resources—videos, readings, case studies, and interviews with leading experts—in just 30 minutes a day.

Who are the courses designed for, and are they open to everyone?

While the courses are specifically developed for government employees across the Middle East and Africa, they are accessible to anyone committed to fostering sustainable impact within their organization or country.

Do I receive a certification upon completing a course?

Certificates of completion can be issued by Irth Institute in partnership with its delivery collaborators.

What is the cost of enrolling in a course?

All courses are provided at no cost. However, if you wish to obtain a certificate of completion, a minimal fee applies—unless your participation is sponsored through one of our partnerships with your government. To confirm sponsorship eligibility, please contact your HR department.
