Government of India — Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation Programme Opportunities

The Government of India describes ITEC as a fully funded bilateral assistance programme offering training scholarships to partner countries. The Embassy of India in Malabo directs Equatorial Guinea applicants to choose from current upcoming ITEC courses online. Covered costs include economy-class return airfare, a gratis Indian visa, course fees, institute-provided accommodation, a daily living allowance, required books/training materials, eligible study-tour costs and limited medical treatment for immediate or emergency conditions arising in India. Personal services, pre-existing/chronic-condition costs and other individual expenses are not stated as covered.

The Equatorial Guinea route is for officials and professionals working in public or private sectors, universities, chambers of commerce and industry and other eligible organisations. Applicants must meet the selected course's academic requirements, normally be 25–45 years old, have working English, have at least five years of work experience and be medically fit. The Embassy states that people who previously participated in ITEC or received another Government of India-funded scholarship are not eligible.
