� Launched in 2004
� Now more than 100 members in about 30 countries/19 affiliated national coalitions
� Members sign up to general appeal and agree to broad membership principles
� Work as coalition – both nationally and regionally– to pool together collective strengths, resources, contacts and common objectives under one umbrella
� PWYP is a campaign, not an organization
� Regional governance structure: national coalitions, regional coordinator supervised by a management committee, multiyear action plan, regular regional and subregional strategy meetings - emphasis on development of national civil society coalitions to ensure local ownership and independence

National coalitions: the basis for action• National coalitions are autonomous, independent and broad base platforms that
ensure local ownership and local context are taken into account in campaign objectives
• National coalitions need to uphold to PWYP membership principles
• Each has own unique structure, organisation, leadership, action plan
• Act as an ADVOCATE, PARTNER with government, WATCHDOG over government
• Some focus on squarely on EITI monitoring, others on broader PWYP objectives, others on broad public finance transparency and management issues
• Work on joint international advocacy activities (EITI, IFIs) facilitated by regional/international PWYP Coordinators
• Work closely with INGO partners to facilitate capacity building efforts and support advocacy activities of coalitions and members. Member INGOs play a key support role for local coalitions, limited capacity of PWYP staff (4 people)

Useful steps to follow
IDENTIFY & MOBILISE
RELEVANT COS ACTORS
lAvoid duplicating structures
lMap and sensitize local CSO
groups and networks
lOrganise broad
consultation/planning meeting
lSeek support from International
and regional coordinations/Get
advice from more advanced
coalitions
DEFINE STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE MECHANISMS
-Avoid creating heavy and bureaucratic structures and think about institutional sustainability
-Agree on rules and working procedures that will guide collaboration and interaction between members (membership criteria, decision making process, internal and external communications, financial management, conflict resolution)
-Establish protection mechanisms for security of campaigners
![Page 10: Marie-Ange Kalenga - PWYP Montreal Conference 2009](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022100523/554dde75b4c905d10e8b53d7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Variety of structures- PWYP values independence and autonomy of action
- Local groups are free to choose a model that fits their needs and context
- Best practices can be shared (PWYP guide on coalition building)

National Coalitions - A unique

Success & Challenges � Financial constraints
� Capacity-building
� Security issues
� Misconduct of national coalitions have negative repercussions on the PWYP label (internal conflicts, internal transparency and accountability standards)
� Diversity of the campaign at regional and international level
� PWYP members in 25 resource-rich African and 19 established national coalitions
� PWYP members are monitoring EITI in each of the 21 implementing countries across Africa
� NEITI Bill in Nigeria, LEITI Bill introduced in Liberia
� Support and input to contract review processes in DRC, Liberia, Sierra Leone
� Research and advocacy efforts to include budget work
� Broad based donor/INGO support for PWYP coalitions
� Mentoring, joined-up advocacy efforts and cross-fertilization across platforms (4 regional meetings and 3 subregional summits to date)

Key questions for group discussion
� What are the key ingredients for an effective network approach and how does PWYP expand to include new countries with restricted CS? Any other models?
� How do we ensure an inclusive approach that engages with all relevant actors to avoid reactive engagement and stay ahead at country level?
� Do we need to update coalition membership principles to ensure that national coalitions approve clear conflict resolution and transparency (Practice What You
Preach) norms and procedures?
