Publishing What We Learned : An Assessment of the Publish What You Pay Coalition

Revenues from the oil, gas and mining industries are an important source of income for governments of over 50 countries around the world. Paradoxically, most of these countries are rich but the majority of their citizens are living in poverty. The lack of transparency in the payment and receipt of natural resource revenues has fostered corruption and misman-agement by officials in these countries. Yet, if citizens know how much their government gets paid for the extraction of the country's natural resources, it becomes much easier to monitor how the revenue is spent. These pro-ceeds can then serve as a basis for poverty reduction, economic growth, and development.

The Publish What You Pay (PWYP) coalition campaigns for greater transparency and accountability in the management of revenues from the oil, gas and mining industries. Over the course of six years, the PWYP coalition has grown to become a global network of over 350 community organisations, international NGOs and faith-based groups and more than 25 national civil society coalitions.
Publishing What We Learned discusses the origins and structures of PWYP, assesses the effectiveness of its advocacy and policy endeavours, and examines how the coalition has operated internationally, overcome challenges, and achieved success.
