Extractive Industry Transparency in Latin America
| Location: | Washington, D.C. |
| Event Date: | July 31, 2009 |
Oxfam America and Revenue Watch Institute will present two public panel discussions on the connection between natural resources, conflict and political stability in Latin America.
Extractive industry transparency and civil society participation in decision making around natural resource use are key means of reducing the likelihood of social conflicts, such as the recent social and political crisis over land rights in Peru. This half-day event will facilitate the exchange of information to support increased transparency and improved governance in Latin America. In particular, the event aims to create a forum for creative thinking on outstanding transparency challenges in the region and opportunities for international engagement around these issues.
