OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITY AREAS

PWYP has four strategic areas, as follows:- policy and legal reforms; extractive transparency; climate change, energy transition and tax justice; and institutional capacity strengthening.

HOW AIMS

We aim to ensure that PWYP is:

  • Informed by putting information in the public domain to promote good governance and accountability
  • Influential in the formulation and implementation of extractive sector policy and legislative framework
  • Heard by expanding the space for members’ participation and proactively identifying and challenging any restrictive environments.
  • Connected, by increasingly working with strong cross-sectoral partnerships and alliances with the tax justice, human rights and gender justice movements.

To promote the EITI as a tool to enhanced transparency, accountability and local beneficiation;

  • Enhance CSOs capacity so they can meaningfully engage with the EITI stages/cycles.
  • Enhance the uptake of information from the EITI repots
  • Explore the extent to which the EITI informs, empowers and improves resource governance especially in host mining Communities and by ensuring effective collection of sub-national payments.
