Natural Resource Governance Institute

The Natural Resource Governance Institute promotes effective management of oil, gas, and mineral endowments to ensure that citizens of resource-rich countries benefit from the extraction of these resources. At the country level, the Institute provides training, technical assistance, and advocacy support to local partners including civil society groups, the media, and governments, promoting the uptake of international transparency and governance norms and practices. The Institute will intensify efforts in 11 countries to deepen implementation of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, promote data use by civil society and citizen groups for advocacy, and generate evidence to inform reforms of state-owned extractive companies.
