The United States Publish What You Pay (PWYP) coalition promotes transparency in the extractive industries to ensure that oil, gas and mineral wealth contributes to development and poverty alleviation.
PWYP US is part of a global coalition of over 350 NGOs in 50 countries promoting the public disclosure of revenues, contracts, and other financial transactions related to the extractive industries. This information allows people to hold their government accountable for managing the revenues.
We believe that corporations, governments and multilateral institutions engaged in extractive industry activities have an important role to play in facilitating development and good governance. This includes the transparent management of revenues emanating from their activities. These actors have an obligation to, where necessary, change policies and practices in order to contribute to transparent revenue management.
