Publish What You Pay

Publish What You Pay is a global civil society movement of over 1,000 organizations worldwide campaigning for inclusive, accountable, and evidence-based governance of natural resources. The coalition aims to ensure that payment and other disclosures made by extractive companies and governments through channels such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative lead to better and more accountable use of natural resource wealth. The coalition’s advocacy has led to the inclusion of gender disaggregated data and company ownership data as requirements in the global extractive disclosure standard. Their priorities include focusing on driving greater compliance with reporting standards at the country level, developing members’ capacity to use data in advocacy campaigns, and fostering citizen participation in decisions about the allocation and use of extractive revenues. (Strategy: Inclusive Governance)

Publish What You Pay is a global coalition of more than 800 civil society organizations advocating for greater transparency and accountability in the revenues derived from oil, gas, and mineral exploitation. The coalition aims to ensure that payment and other disclosures by companies and governments, through voluntary and mandatory channels such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, lead to better and more responsive use of natural resource wealth. The coalition’s International Secretariat supports its members to engage at international, regional, national, and subnational levels through advocacy training, information sharing, and institutional and communications assistance.
