Civil Society Coalition Participation in the Implementation of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to examine the participation of civil society coalitions in the implementation of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) in Indonesia and the obstacles they face during the implementation process. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with the National Coordinator of PWYP Indonesia, and documentation of related documents. Data analysis follows the interactive model of Miles and Huberman which includes the stages of collecting, condensing, presenting, and drawing conclusions, with a focus on filtering and simplifying information to make it relevant to the problem formulation. The results of the study indicate that civil society participation in EITI is active through various mechanisms, including policy advocacy, monitoring, and dissemination of transparency information. However, this participation process also faces various structural and institutional obstacles, such as limited resources, unequal access to information, and challenges in coordination between stakeholders. This study provides an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of civil society participation in natural resource governance, while also offering recommendations to strengthen their role in improving transparency and accountability in the extractive sector in Indonesia.
