ASIA PACIFIC - PROJECT MANAGER Revenue Watch Institute

upervise a three-year USAID-funded IKAT partnership project on extractive
industry governance in Asia-Pacific. Through interventions at the regional, national and sub-national
level, the IKAT partnership project proposes a comprehensive approach to
addressing natural resource governance - combining grants with continuous
facilitation, mentoring, training, and technical assistance to Indonesian NGOs
to design, build, and operate projects to improve governance in the extractive
industries sector, thus enabling them to become capacity building and technical
assistance providers to NGOs in other Southeast Asian countries. The technical

society organizations to engage in informed dialogue and be successful
advocates; Revenue Watch’s role is to serve as a resource, facilitator and
enabler for our civil society partners.
