Advocating for Transparency and Community Voice in Resource Governance

PNGRGC brings civil society together to promote transparency and accountability in Papua New Guinea’s extractive sector.

What We Do

PNGRGC is Papua New Guinea’s peak civil society body for resource governance. It coordinates civil society engagement in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (PNGEITI). We bring together organisations to strengthen transparency, accountability, and community participation in how natural resource revenues are managed.

Why This Work Matters

Papua New Guinea’s natural resources generate significant revenue, yet many communities see limited benefit.

PNGRGC works to ensure citizens have access to information, voice, and accountability in decisions that affect their land, livelihoods, and future.
