How is Publish What You Pay funded?

The PWYP coalition members have since our start demonstrated a willingness to collectively secure the PWYP Norway campaign by voluntary member contributions to run the secretariat. However, Norad is our major financing partner contributing with 2,6 million in 2010 over the OfD/Norad–grant to PWYP Norway TRACE programme .

 
Our financing partners are:

• Member organisations (voluntary contributions)
• Norad
• The Freedom of Expression Foundation (Stiftelsen Fritt Ord) has funded certain campaign activities
• The campaign’s capacity strengthening programme for civil society, TRACE is funded by Norad’s initiative Oil for Development

 
Overview over voluntary contributions from member organisations.
The annual meeting has decided to have a configuration based on a differentiated contribution depending upon the financial turn over in the organisations. Larger organisations contributions are from NOK 75 000 and up, and smaller organisations contribute with NOK 5000.

Outside our government and our members’ voluntary contributions, it is challenging to mobilise other financing sources, for the type of political work we do; campaigning for transparency and accountability in the extractive industry through international and national political advocacy work, lobbying, mobilising and capacity building on the issues at stake so that citizens can fight corruption in their home countries.

If your organisation would be interested in contributing financially to the work of Publish What You Pay Norway, please contact the secretariat .

We do not accept financing from companies in the extractive industry.
