Programme Officer Natural Resource Charter (NRC) London, United Kingdom
Objectives
The Natural Resource Charter (NRC) is
a global initiative seeking to support resource-rich countries to
harness the economic opportunities of extractive resource revenues (oil,
gas and minerals) for the benefit of all citizens.
The
NRC brings together a group of international experts who have compiled a
manual of best practice, structured around twelve Precepts spanning the
challenges posed by managing resource wealth. The recommendations
contained within the NRC span the entire chain of decisions faced by
governments; from the decision whether to extract, through fiscal terms,
contracts, institutions and regulations, to macroeconomic management
and strategies for sustainable development.
The
NRC is now starting to work with implementing countries. This process
will be built around a country benchmarking exercise where country
policy performance is evaluated across the decision chain against NRC
recommendations. The benchmarking framework will undergo a period of
revision, extension and review. Further analytical work will be
conducted to support adopting country governments and other
stakeholders.
