PERU: Network of NGOs Releases Report on Extractives Data, Sub-National Capacity
In its newest Extractive Industries Monitoring Report (Vigilancia de las Industrias Extractivas), Grupo Propuesta Ciudadana compiles and analyzes all 2007 data from Peru relating to mineral, oil and gas production, taxes, royalties and other rent payments.
The report also examines rent distribution between central and sub-national governments, and the ways that states are using these resources.
GPC's Sistema Vigila Peru monitors the performance of 10 Regional Governments on expenditures, policies, participation, transparency, health and education. It also monitors the generation, distribution and use of the fiscal resources created by the extractive industries.
Revenue Watch helps to fund GPC's project to monitor the generation and distribution of extractives revenues, and provides related direct and indirect technical assistance to governments and citizens in Peru.
