PWYP Africa strategic guidelines
Financial transparency in the extractive industries: EITI and
other corporate reporting standards
-
Extractive industry revenues
Profits, production volumes, costs and sales
Intra-group trade between subsidiaries and the parent company, to
expose usage of tax havens.
Contract transparency
-
Full contract disclosure between the state and companies (content of
contract, lease, concession agreements; process from tendering to
awarding; adoption of open competitive bidding rounds as a best
practice)
Transforming transparency to accountability
-
Transparency alone is not enough; need to go beyond transparency
by promoting the accountability of the use of revenues derived from
EI
Basic principles for an improved governance system





Simple, efficient and participatory, allowing all the coalitions
to participate and feel part of it
Inspired by the principles of transparency and accountability
that inspire the campaign
Sustainable, effective and flexible to adapt to external
conditions, strategic priorities and resources available.
A governance that can strengthen the campaign in each
country, and at the same time give a regional dimension to our
advocacy efforts
Reinforce visibility and participation of African coalitions within
the international network of PWYP
The Africa level:
Basic principles for an improved governance system



Strengthen cohesion between the different levels (global,
regional, sub-regional and national).
Governance shall be accompanied by effective communication
enabling decision making and consensus building based on
timely and relevant information; without a good flow of
information governance becomes an obstacle rather than a
strength of the campaign.
Advocacy and Capacity building should be the central
priorities of PWYP Africa; PWYP capacity and advocacy
strategy in Africa must constantly evolve and adapt to
innovations and the changing context in order to respond
effectively and strategically to arising challenges; capacities
should be extended gradually and constantly at all levels.

Achievements of PWYP relevant to
the African context (1)
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative

The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) was
launched in 2002 as a response to the Publish What You
Pay campaign. Since then, as an initiative based on
voluntary participation, the EITI has acquired many
members from African countries (5 compliant countries and
16 candidate countries as of 25 May 2011).
Achievements of PWYP relevant to
the African context (2)

The Dodd-Frank financial reform bill in the United States,
which includes a provision obliging US-listed companies
engaged in oil, gas or mineral extraction to report how
much they pay to governments promises more timely
data as well as information for countries which are not
implementing EITI (Angola, Equatorial Guinea, South
Africa, Uganda, etc.)



Country by country and project by project reporting
Covers around 90% of internationally operating oil companies
– US and foreign
8 of the world’s 10 largest mining companies
Achievements of PWYP relevant to
the African context (3)

National legislation (Liberia EITI law, Nigeria EITI law,
Ghana Petroleum Revenue Management Bill),
constitutional reforms (Niger) also seeks to respond to
this problem.

Freedom of information laws have been adopted by a
number of African countries (e.g. Liberia, Uganda,
Nigeria) though in many cases implementation has been
lacking. If implemented meaningfully these laws would
equip the public with the right to information on the
receipt and use of natural resource revenues.
