Communications in Natural Resources Training, Lebanon, November 2018
Governments helping each other
This group was built to be a trusted space where governments can share questions and discuss solutions that can help them manage their natural resources for the greatest national benefit. Member countries offer each other help and receive expert advice to develop and implement policies which are context-appropriate, evidence-based, and transition proof.
We believe that reform and change gain better acceptance if led by producer countries. Problems and solutions are defined locally. Governments learn from each other and collaborate to develop practical tools to support policy implementation.
Member Countries
We are a network of over 1,000 government officials from 22 countries, and benefit from the participation of experts, industry and members of civil society in our discussions.
We welcome new member countries from emerging oil and gas provinces and value contributions from established producers.
