In April 2009, the Parliamentary Centre partnered with Revenue Watch Institute to launch the project, “Strengthening Parliamentary and Civil Society Oversight of Oil, Gas, and Mining Revenues in Ghana.” The project received financial support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).

The main purpose of the project was to support the Parliament of Ghana in strengthening their oversight capacity over the emerging petroleum sector. To do this, there needed to be a strong and effective collaboration with civil society actors and media in Ghana. This publication provides an overview of the project's main activities and results.
