Testimonials

The AGNES Leadership Program significantly deepened my understanding of climate policy frameworks and equipped me with practical skills in climate governance, enhancing my effectiveness across various networks and projects. The most transformative aspects of the program were modules on Climate Leadership, Communication, Diplomacy, Negotiations, and Climate Governance.

The African Group of Negotiators Experts Support Leadership Program (AGNES) has been instrumental in my development within climate governance, expanding my expertise in global negotiation processes, advocacy, and climate finance. Through AGNES, I gained vital skills in navigating international climate discussions, particularly on behalf of Africa

The quality of the modules taught at the Climate Leadership Program has helped me tremendously in structuring how to better educate the people at the grassroots in understanding climate change issues, policies being formulated and how their local solutions can help them in adapting to these changes.

Thank you for linking me with Agnes, that certificate is the key that made me an intern at REMA ( Rwanda environment management authority). Now I have officially started the journey of my career. I hope we’ll have more connection between us and many opportunities from you!! I want to grow in this career.

Let me also take this opportunity to thank you and AGNES for organizing this wonderful and addictive course. I learned a lot of things from the course facilitators (the experts) and as well our follow-up discussions. Surely, this was among the best online classes I’ve ever attended! Thank you Michael once again for your wonderful coordination.
