About us
Publish What You Pay (PWYP) is a global network of civil society organisations that are united in their call for oil, gas and mining revenues to form the basis for development and improve the lives of citizens in resource-rich countries.1 PWYP undertakes public campaigns and policy advocacy to achieve disclosure of information about extractive industry revenues and contracts.
Our global network is diverse, with over 600 member organisations across the world. PWYP members include human rights, development, environmental and faith-based organisations. In more than 30 countries, network members have joined forces by creating civil society coalitions for collective action. The priorities of these coalitions reflect the unique national context and the nature of the extractives sector in the country.
