for Publish What You Pay, a global campaign for natural resource revenue transparency  
The Publish What You Pay (PWYP) international secretariat, hosted by the Open Society Foundation, coordinates and strengthens the global network of more than 700 civil society organizations that advocate for more open, accountable management of oil, gas, and mineral wealth in their countries. PWYP network members share best practices for monitoring revenue flows from the sale of natural resources and for understanding the contracts that corporations negotiate with their governments. The coalition also aggregates national and regional level demands for more rigorous implementation of global standards such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative. During this grant period, the PWYP secretariat would establish itself as an independent organization, hire additional regional coordinators for Francophone Africa and Eurasia, and help each national coalition develop a strategic plan aligned with the network’s goals and advances implementing global standards at the country level.
