Regional Coordinator - Asia Pacific
Revenue Watch Institute
Jakarta,
Indonesia
Revenue Watch Institute (RWI) is a non-governmental
organization that promotes responsible management of oil, gas and
mineral resources for the public good. Too often natural resource
wealth results in corruption and poverty, instead of growth and
development. With effective revenue management, citizen engagement and
government accountability, natural resource wealth can drive economic
growth and development. RWI provides the expertise, funding and
technical assistance to help countries realize these benefits. Please

The Regional Coordinator (RC) is responsible for designing and implementing a regional strategy that capitalizes on new openings in countries like Myanmar, builds on momentum for reform in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Timor Leste, and targets strategic players like China. Liaising with heads of state, intellectual leaders, and change makers, the RC ensure Revenue Watch stays on the cutting edge of reform efforts.
