An event by Kathrin Frauscher was featuredWest African Contract Monitoring Program - Action Planning Meeting at Monrovia. Liberia
November 30, 2010 to December 3, 2010
IntroductionTo date, monitoring of procurement processes and contracts has been sporadic or limited in scope and impact, reflecting constraints in opportunity and capacity. However, there is growing recognition that supporting such independent third-party monitoring can serve an effective oversight function in controlling fraud and corruption in public contractingEspecially when linked with formal public accountability institutions.The event is part of a larger Contract Monitoring Program that…See More

100 Goxonians - How to work together?
Hello everyone.
Our community here on GOXI now counts over 100 members! I think it is really exciting to see that there are so many diverse people who are passionate about governance issues in extractive industries.
As our community continues to grow in size, I think it becomes important to also grow in depth. How can we make GOXI a space where we can truly communicate and collaborate with each other?

The consultations on Ghana's preparation for oil and gas has been instnsive recently. Following civil society regional forums on the policies and legal frameworks being developed by government for the petroleum sector, the Civil society platform on oil and gas which I coordinate held a 'citizens summit on oil and gas on 24th June 2010 which brought together more than 250 participants from civil society, government, parliament and the media to consolidate CSO positions for presentation to government and parliament ahead of the final bills that will be laid before parliament by government. The citizens summit ended with a communique which was presented to the Ministers of Energy and Finance and also to teh wider Ghanaian citizens through a press conference held on 30th June 2010. Now we are doing outreach in the regions explaining the contenst of the communique to the general public to enable them participate in the debate on the petroleum related bills when they are finally laid before parliament. The Minister of Energy and the Deputy Minister of Finance attended the summit.
The world bank, oxfam america and friedrich ebert foundation and IBIS sponsored the summit.

Kasita Ibrahim Emolu said… - Dear Kathrin,
That is exactly what I am trying to do. I agree with you that a group of Journalists added in the GOXI platform is the best way forward. However you could advise me how that group could be added. Already I have invited three two Journalists as my friends in my GOXI pages including my Editor Paul Busharizi. The other issue is that I have some information that I would like or try to share with the group about EI but that information is only in my GOXI page. How can I make that information accessible by all GOXI members? Already three articles are are on my page. Could you also advise me on how to create this EI Media group?
