ABSTRACT
Oil and mining activities and the revenues they produce, have been implicated in the initiation and prolongation of conflict in a number of countries. In response, the international community has begun to advocate for the adoption and implementation of transparency and accountability initiatives in post-conflict settings so as to alter the behaviours around natural resource governance that prevailed during a conflict. The Publish What You Pay (PWYP) movement and the subsequent Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) represent the leading international efforts to rally support and facilitate change in this area.
