Measurement of the Non-Fiscal Costs and Benefits of Extraction: Survey for NRGI Project |
Non-Fiscal Costs and Benefits of Extraction Project
Calling all who have an interest in the social and environmental impacts of the extractive sector.
The Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) is gathering information on the various tools and methodologies used by governments, extractive companies, multilaterals, donors, academics, consulting companies and civil society organisations to measure the non-fiscal costs and benefits of the extractive sector.
Project Background
Calling all who have an interest in the social and environmental impacts of the extractive sector.
The Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) is gathering information on the various tools and methodologies used by governments, extractive companies, multilaterals, donors, academics, consulting companies and civil society organisations to measure the non-fiscal costs and benefits of the extractive sector.
Project Background
The extraction of natural resources can generate substantial fiscal revenues for a country through royalties, taxes, levies and other income to the state. At the same time, extractive activities produce a range of positive and negative economic, social, institutional, environmental, political and cultural impacts for a diverse range of local, regional, national and global stakeholders.
When assessing the net impact of proposed extractive projects, or the performance of existing extractive projects, these “non-fiscal costs and benefits” are rarely subjected to the same level of measurement as fiscal revenues.
Questionnaire
Please fill out this questionnaire if you have an interest in the social and environmental impacts of the extractive sector. You may be working in academe, industry, a civil society organisation, a multilateral organisation or donor, a consulting company, or a government agency with responsibility for extractive projects.
The purpose of the questionnaire is to gather information on tools and methods to assess the non-fiscal costs and benefits of extraction. This may include tools and methods that assess the various forms of 'capital' that are impacted by extractive projects, such as natural capital, social capital, political capital, financial capital, physical capital, human capital, cultural capital and spiritual capital.
We are also looking to identify others who are working on tools, methods and best-practice frameworks to measure non-fiscal impacts in the extractive sector.
The questionnaire should only take about 10 minutes to complete. By completing the questionnaire, you'll help the research team identify which tools and methods are being used by the global community so that we can incorporate existing methods into our review of current practice.
Participation in this questionnaire is voluntary. Your responses will be kept confidential and reported at an aggregated level. If you have any questions about the questionnaire or the project, please contact Dr Tim Grice on the details below:
