Extractive Industries Review

World Bank Extractive Industries Review Advisory Group

The World Bank Extractive Industries Advisory Group was formed to help the Bank identify and promote good practices in oil, gas, and mining extractive industries and to follow up on implementation of the agreed recommendations of the Extractive Industries Review. The Advisory Group achieves this by serving as a forum where stakeholders could gain better understanding and perspective on sustainability issues within extractive industries. With representatives with diverse backgrounds in government, industry, civil society, academia and finance, including strong representation from developing country regions dealing with extractive industry issues, the Advisory Group produced a number of recommendations for the Bank’s efforts to both reduce poverty and promote sustainable development through the extractive industries sector. The Advisory Group's valuable work continues to inform the Bank's actions and efforts in this field.
