the programme has equipped me with analytical tools and practical skills

Ms. Karmelita Deonarine, MEIG Graduate 2025-2026, Guyana

The MEIG Programme has been a highly enriching experience that has significantly shaped both my professional and intellectual development. As a young diplomat working in multilateral affairs, the programme provided a unique bridge between theory and practice, allowing me to engage more critically with the international institutions and frameworks I interact with on a daily basis. By deepening my understanding of global governance, sustainable development, and international cooperation, the programme has equipped me with the analytical tools and practical skills, including negotiation and public speaking, to contribute more meaningfully to technical and policy discussions and to effectively advance national priorities in an increasingly complex global environment.
