The project of “Social Accountability in the Mining Sector” has the objective to contribute to improving the management and governance in the mining sector at the subnational level in select provinces in Indonesia through collaborative social accountability mechanisms. The project will be measured by the 1) percentage of problems in the licensing systems identified and followed up through the project’s Multi Stakeholders Forums (hereafter MSFs); and 2) percentage of problems in revenue management identified and followed up through the project’s MSFs.
The project will be implemented in three mineral-rich provinces in Indonesia, including Aceh, East Kalimantan and Southeast Sulawesi. In each targeted province, engagement with related stakeholders will be established in the form of MSFs. PWYP Indonesia will also build a partnership with CSOs partners (member of the PWYP Indonesia coalition) and sub-national government counterparts in each province.
The project aims to contribute to improving the management and governance in the mining sector through collaborative social accountability mechanism with the three mains components: (1) Capacity-building for collaborative social accountability; (2) Implementing collaborative social accountability mechanisms to contribute to strengthening the mineral licensing system, environmental oversight and mining revenue management at the provincial level; (3) Improving knowledge and learning on social accountability in the mining sector at the provincial level.
