Extracting Transparency: Citizen Information on Mines and Petroleum
"Extracting Transparency: Citizen Information on Mines and Petroleum" is a digital initiative promoted by the FARO Group NGO with the support of the Natural Resources Governance Institute and ELLA (Evidence and Lessons from Latin America), whose purpose is to promote transparency in information related to extractive industries and the proper use of non-renewable natural resources with the participation of the state, civil society and private enterprise. This project includes research work with the purpose of generating evidence for the development of public policies. The program has carried out fiscal studies related to the use of oil revenues, analysis of conjuncture and publications of the analysis of public policy for specific aspects such as the costs associated to the lack of transparency in the oil industry, the application of prior consent and the analysis of the institutional framework of the extractive industries in the country. The information produced and/or systematized is published on their website, where also reports, regulations, training courses and other resources are available. The team behind this initiative comprises 5 people.
