Project on Resources and Governance (PRG) is dedicated to improving the governance of natural resources in countries rich in resources. Its primary focus is to ensure that the wealth generated from these resources benefits local communities, enhances livelihoods, and reduces conflict. PRG uses evidence-based research and policy recommendations to drive sustainable development in these regions.
The organisation works closely with governments, local institutions, and international stakeholders to create effective governance structures. This approach fosters transparency, accountability, and responsible resource management. PRG’s key goals include improving governance practices around natural resources, promoting inclusive development, and reducing conflict in resource-dependent regions.
PRG’s research spans several crucial areas, including the impact of resource extraction on local communities, governance structures that promote sustainable management, and strategies to mitigate conflict over resource distribution. Their work provides insight into how governance can be a tool for development rather than a source of instability. By focusing on natural resource governance, PRG indirectly contributes to the broader goals of sustainable finance, particularly by supporting frameworks that foster responsible investment and long-term economic growth.
The organisation also offers practical resources such as research publications, data on governance structures, and partnerships that bridge the gap between academic findings and policy implementation. PRG’s work is rooted in creating real-world impacts, with its findings contributing to policy changes and governance reforms in resource-rich countries.
