Project Description
The project addresses the need for effective public investment of
royalties paid to local governments in Peru by companies in the extractive
industry. It provides information, capacity-building activities, and
incentives to enable civil society groups and the media to demand good
governance from their authorities. The objective is to improve the impact
of royalties by strengthening local governance in 21 municipalities, as
measured by a 1-point increase (20 percent, on a 1–5-point scale) in the
Good Governance index by June 2014. The project also expects to contribute
to creation of a friendlier environment for extractive industries by
increasing receptivity to them among 20 percent the population and civil
society groups.
