Deadline- 10th Dec, 2012
Countries/Region- Indonesia
Proposals are invited to implement EITI (Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative) to complete the first round of reporting and reconciliation, with publication schedule for late 2012 or early 2013.
Civil Society has played an important role in the emergence of the EITI in Indonesia. Publish What You Pay (PWYP) Indonesia, a CSO coalition which was established in November 2007, has endorsed and actively engaged with EITI since the beginning of the process. After the passage of the Presidential Regulation on EITI, PWYP elected three NGO representatives to join the Implementation Team of EITI Indonesia, a Multi-Stakeholder Working Group that consists of government, companies and civil society. Consistent with that effort, PWYP Indonesia and civil society more broadly aims to play a more significant and progressive role within EITI Indonesia.
CSOs aim to make EITI Reports are more meaningful in terms of how they present possible leakages of revenue flows in the oil, gas and mineral sector, and advocate more advanced levels of inquiry. CSOs can also use the momentum created by the publication of EITI Reports to endorse the report’s policy recommendations on revenue management mechanisms, as part of improving extractive industries governance.
