Promoting Revenue Transparency Index
RWI has partnered with the Transparency International Secretariat since 2006 to establish a Revenue Transparency Index. The Index will serve as an annual and ongoing benchmark for disclosure performance and requirements for extractive industries revenues and related information. The measurement will target producing countries, extractive industry companies and their home countries.
The EI sector and the transparency movement both require a concrete and standardized measurement for the movement's progress to date, and a source of detailed data to support that measurement.
The Indexes created will encourage companies and governments to improve transparency and accountability to citizens and investors alike. The project will also provide advocacy tools for RWI, Transparency International, other NGOs (particularly those in the 'Publish What You Pay' coalition) and stakeholder groups working towards enhanced transparency in the public and private sectors.

Financial Summary
Revenue Watch and our partners engage in increasingly diverse forms of public finance monitoring, including service delivery, participatory budgeting, and aid and expenditure tracking. Our partners are coalescing into an indigenous-led network of non-governmental organizations at the forefront of the battle against corruption and abuse of the public interest.
Grant-making is RWI's primary tool for engaging civil society in resource-rich countries and is an important means to motivate, support and build grassroots movements that create sustained local and international demand for revenue and expenditure transparency.
RWI takes a comprehensive approach to improving governance and development across the entire value chain, from the organization of extractive production, revenue generation, and revenue management, and through to the expenditure processes and national development outcomes.
