I wanted to quickly share the news with fellow bloggers and readers on my upcoming job transition, to take place in the early fall. At that point I will head the Revenue Watch Institute (RWI) and will cease being a resident fellow at Brookings.
I am mindful that nowadays improved governance of oil, gas and minerals is the critical development challenge for dozens of countries around the world. So it is such a privilege to be asked to lead Revenue Watch, an organization with great people which plays a key role in promoting policy reforms and transparency by governments and corporations in the natural resource sector…
I am excited about this opportunity and challenge. I am also aware of the sizeable shoes that I have been asked to to fill. Karin Lissakers, the current RWI President has been a terrific leader of an organization already operating in dozens of countries and making a difference in policy reform advise and advocacy.
RWI’s official announcement about this transition is here. I will still contribute some new work from Brookings until mid-September, when I move to RWI.
