The Government of PNG (GoPNG) working in partnership with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) of PNG and mining and petroleum companies from PNG operating in the country through their authorized representatives collectively referred to as the PNG Extractive Industries Multi-Stakeholder Group (PNGMSG), has been setup to promote revenue transparency and accountability in the country’s mining and petroleum sectors.
