Parliamentarians have a crucial role to play in reviewing legislation on oil, gas and minerals, and in overseeing the government’s management of these extractive sectors. In support of this unique mandate, NRGI has developed tailor-made trainings, tools and publications for members of parliament and legislative staff members since 2008. The five parliamentary briefings available here reflect NRGI’s approach to parliamentary capacity building on extractives. These succinct publications come in an accessible format, taking into account the hectic schedules of members of parliament. Each briefing outlines key concepts, as well as parliamentary questions and strategies for the improvement of law-making and oversight of the oil, gas and mining sectors.
