What’s at stake?
• Oil, gas and mining sector governance as a
development challenge
– In resource rich countries:
• Over 1 billion people live on less than $5 a day
• 640 million live on $2 a day or less.
– In 2011, Nigeria’s oil revenues alone were 60
percent higher than international aid to all of subSaharan Africa.
• Governance is the challenge, but also the solution.
• The RGI aims to help advance this effort.
2
Why is a measure of resource governance needed?
• Raise awareness about a major development
challenge
• Attract investors
• Concretize what may be seen as a vague
challenge
• Enable evidence-based policymaking and
advocacy
• A diagnostic tool to identify global and country
reform priorities
3
What is the Resource Governance Index?
• A measure of transparency
and accountability of the
oil, gas and mining sector in
58 countries.
• 2012 data
• 173 questions
• 50 indicators
• >100 researchers/experts

Recommendations to improve resource
transparency and accountability
• Disclose contracts signed with extractive companies.
• Ensure that regulatory agencies publish timely,
comprehensive reports on oil, gas and mining operations.
• Extend transparency and accountability standards to SOCs
and natural resource funds.
• Concerted effort to control corruption, strengthen the rule
of law and guarantee civil and political rights.
• Adopt international reporting standards for governments
and companies.
