13

Resource ShowcaseVarious resources available to stakeholders in the extractive industries will be showcased at the opening of the event. Staff from the Natural Resource Governance Institute and Extractives Hub will be available throughout the day at interactive stands to engage with participants.

NRGI Resource Governance Index2017 Resource Governance Index is the only international index measuring governance of the extractive industries. Full dataset and 89 assessments of transparency and accountability policies and practices in oil, gas and mining are available on resourcegovernanceindex.org. Alongside the Index, the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) has resources at resourceprojects.org and www.resourcecontracts.org, which are open data platforms offering access to extractive project information: payments made by extractive companies and contracts between companies and governments.

14

Extractives HubTaking everyday decisions in the extractives sector means dealing with a dynamic body of information, which can be difficult, expensive and time-consuming to access. The Extractives Hub simplifies the search process for decision makers by providing up-to-date and trustworthy evidence, tools and toolkits for over 40 extractives sector topics from a range of sources. The Extractive Hub resources are available at extractiveshub.org. Registration on the site is free and open to all sector stakeholders

15

DELVEDELVE is a platform in development, looking to overcome the lack of accurate and complete data on artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). The World Bank and Pact, an international NGO, began addressing this data void in 2015 and are now working to scale-up the platform into a global resource on ASM.The vision for DELVE is a definitive online platform thatincludes shared indicators, data mapping and visualization, a gateway to all data sources, and a collective initiative to accurately monitor, evaluate, analyze and publish critical ASM information. While still in development, DELVE resources can be accessed on delvedatabase.org.

16

RAW TalksRAW Talks is an interview series exploring the ideas and experiences of leaders, researchers and practitioners in the field of resource policy and economics. All with the aim to advance the discussion on how best the extractives sector can contribute to development. Interviews are published in regular online editions that can be accessed for free at www.rawtalks.org or on YouTube.

17

GOXIGOXI is a standing online forum for innovation and collaboration across stakeholder groups, countries and initiatives that aims to strengthen governance of the extractives sector. The forum is used by 4000 practitioners from 129 countries, ranging from government, the private sector, civil society and think tanks. GOXI is a platform to support dialogue, share opinions, information, new research and events; connect people; find jobs; and seek collaboration. Join the discussion at goxi.org.

18

Mining Local Reporting MechanismThe Mining Local Reporting Mechanism (LPRM) is a set of disclosures on local procurement that are to be reported by organisations who report on mine sites. The LPRM addresses the gaps in current reporting frameworks and sustainability systems, and helps standardise the way the mining sector and host countries talk about these issues. Its use facilitates comprehensive reporting on local procurement spending and programming at the site level, and empowers the mining sector and host countries to work together to better target supplying opportunities – ultimately improving the economic impacts of mineral extraction. More information available at miningsharedvalue.org/mininglprm/.
