Grupo Propuesta Ciudadana (GPC) is promoting the conditions that foster an increase in Peru’s oil and mining revenues while developing mechanisms for the fair distribution of those revenues across regions. Using RWI support, GPC is:

• • Launching several campaigns to promote legislation that ensures the fair distribution of natural resource revenues; allocate those revenues to socio-economic development in producing regions; and improve concession and contract transparency.
• • Training sub-national government officials to improve their revenue management skills.
• • Expanding its monitoring system to include nine additional regions; to cover social expenditure and concession granting practices; and through training civil society organizations to apply the information GPC collects to their own monitoring work.
• • Strengthening its coordination with governmental institutions that play a role in oil and mining industry management.

GPC has been an RWI strategic partner since 2006. In preparation for this initiative, RWI provided GPC with short-term support in 2010 to continue its monitoring of the generation, distribution and spending of oil and mining revenues. GPC also produced and disseminated numerous monitoring reports and carried out background research relevant to the expansion of its monitoring activities in 2011.

Grupo Propuesta Ciudadana is promoting the conditions that foster an increase in Peru’s oil and mining revenues while developing mechanisms for the fair distribution of those revenues across regions.nal governments in different regions of Peru do not have equal access to oil and mining revenues, and there are currently no legal frameworks to regulate revenue distribution.  Although a growing portion of these revenues is now administered by regional and local governments, it is evident that sub-national governments do not have the capacity to plan revenue allocation in ways that promote socio-economic development. 

GPC promotes transparency and public policy changes in the oil, gas and mining sectors in Peru.
