Recent activities

From 11-15 July, PWYP organised a fact-finding mission to Gabon to coincide with PWYP Gabon Annual General Meeting (AGM). The mission was attended by Christian Mounzeo, EITI Board member and Raymond Dou’a, PWYP Strategic Advisory Group member, and sought to shed light on the recent decision of the Gabon Ministry of Interior to impose a travel ban on Marc Ona, national coordinator for PWYP Gabon. The decision came on 6 June while Marc was en route to a Revenue Watch Institute international meeting on revenue transparency in New York. It also followed PWYP Gabon’s recent criticism of the opacity around the renegotiation of the Belinga contract between Gabon and China.
